Newborn Jersey is worth $40 max. I honestly don't know why they even exist. Jersey nurse cows should be bred to a beef bull (BA is best because it gives a solid paint job) and Jersey dairies should be using sexed semen.

Aaron, you are sounding about as negative towards the Jerseys as you were in another post about Herefords. You're not on a secret crossbreeding program are you?
chaneysranch said:Jerseys go for $30 or less here as bottle calves. I did sell a bull calf last summer to someone that likes Jersey bulls. 300lbs. Got $275 but that was a rare thing! If you don't steer them you can get fair weight. Processed our Jersey bull last year, his hanging weight before dressing out was 1242 lbs. I have now a Hereford bull over my Jerseys and Hereford cows. Calves due anytime so will let you know how it goes.

With the Hereford Jersey cross you will get lots dark noses and brindle coloring. I would strongly suggest an Angus bull next time to cover up the Jersey influence.
Now I have to go have a shower and wash off what I just suggested.
