Um... is this the same heifer as "Honeydew?"Today the Jersey heifer is 10 months old and weighs 670lb by Jersey weight tape. The cool season grass is starting to coming in now.
So you said 670 on April 4th, and now 550. Using a "Jersey" tape to get 670, and a "dairy" tape to get 550?Yep She weighed 55 when I bought her from a dairy so she's added another zero to her weight.

Bathrobe belts are multi purpose.
I'm just trying to understand what you're saying. It gets a little confusing when an earlier post says an animal is 670 and then the next one says it is 550.The Coburn Dairy Tape has 3 breeds on it. And the one they sent me the Jersey strip on the tape was cut half through, sewn and and printed over. I had them send me a new readable one. How much do you weigh by tape, Traveler? Beef breed tape I guess.
But what does she weigh? 670... or 550? I'm betting closer to 550.The calf was born at Foster's dairy on July 4th, 2022. In both of these recent posts she is 10 months old. On April 4th, 2023 the heifer was 10 moths old. Today, April 22, 2023 she is still 10 moths old.
Down boy... We already know you have an unhealthy fascination...She is a very attractive heifer.
I probly shouldn't but I'll say it anyway.
If I was a jersey bull, I'd hit it!
Like a
That's about right.She weighs right at the 550 mark on the Jersey breed strip. It has Jersey, Guenrsey and Holstien breeds.
For all 3 breeds it also has marks for Average Weight at Weaning 3 months, Average weight at 6 months, Lightest breeding weight, which she is now in this category, and Average first calving weight.
I think 10 months old is too young to breed. I know they get bred but not ideal. I've been told 14 to 16 months so they calve around 2 years old.
This is my bottle calf not a baby anymore. Shes a growin girl. She is 10 weeks old and in 34.5" at the wither. She eats 3 or 4 lbs of 16% calf grain, free choice alfalfa hay and grass. She still gets 1/2 a gallon of milk replacer out of a bucket so I can use up the sack and she likes it. Do you think she weighs 200lbs yet?

She's not fat you can still see her ribs.
Beef calves nurse 10 months so a dairy calf can easily be fed milk that long of you can afford it but it is to expensive for me. Once they have a calf, I would say you are way past bottle feeding but I can see giving you pet cow a bottle as a treat or to calm them down for a procedure, or to give medicine without restraining them.Is that wrong?
