[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1771902, member: 39373"] One other thing about a cow coming from a dairy. Even a small dairy. Them cows have a routine! Fed about same time every day. Milked about same time every day. Etc... And most are easy going cows. Troublemakers get the boot! Usually... Makes it fairly easy to put calves on if you work with the cows routine. She's used to getting fed and milked. Feed her and release the calves! 😆 [USER=411]@Double R Ranch[/USER] I like the sexed jersey semen idea. It just takes time to raise one up. That's what I've been doing with Opal, and she was a weanling when I got her. But an Ajax cow (half jersey/half angus) MIGHT be ideal for you. She can raise 1, maybe 2 calves and still provide milk for you. O yeah. As far as jerseys getting sick/down, being fragile. I had the same concerns my friends. Bessie really spoiled me being not Full Jersey. She sooooo easy to use. No issues with her whatsoever. Easy to dry off. Just pull the calves and stop feeding grain. Time will tell on Eleanor. After Brandy, I'm a bit worried. But she was bought that way. So anyway.. I'll ramble on somewhere else for a while now. Nice to see interest! [/QUOTE]
