[QUOTE="chippie, post: 997423, member: 5644"] Happy that you were able to find feed for her. The calves look good, the cow looks rough. Jerseys are naturally a bonier than a beef cow, but yours is not in very good condition. The higher protein feed will help her recover, plus if you can get her some alfalfa would be great. I certainly would not run the calves with her. They will wear her down and use her up. How old are the calves? All of the Jersey cows that we have owned have been good mothers when we let them keep their calf. They do like their babies. : ) If you can, weigh your feed so that you are sure that you are feeding her enough. [/QUOTE]
