[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 437780, member: 122"] I'm with you Brent! I was looking for some bottle calves for the kids to raise and ran across what I thought was a fair price on some 2 week old Jerseys; they are 20 months old now and have been on full corn basically since weaning. I think they are about as finished as they are going to get and need to take them to the locker soon. I knew going in they wouldn't grow as well as a beef breed or holstein, but I am still a little amazed at how they can eat so much and grow so little. I figured buying them for 1/2 the price of a holstein ment I could put a little more feed into them, guess I was wrong. If they weren't the kids' I would have cut my losses a while ago. At least there's only a couple of them and it's been good for the kids. [/QUOTE]
