[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 1389524, member: 15537"] I have one, but only one. She is 2 1/2 years old now. Raising a decent calf. I am pretty sure she settled the first service with AI. At least she hasn't come back in heat in 60 days. I have not pregnancy checked her. Those Jersey's are pretty fertile in my experience and I hope she maintains that trait. She gets grass/hay and mineral like the other cows. She looks a little rough right now. My intention when breeding her was to make a replacement milk cow. However, her first lactation she never milked more than a gallon a day, so I put her calf back on her and kicked her out with the other cows. She is out of a registered Jersey cow bred to the Gelbvieh bull from ABS Top Brass. Top Brass has high milk (very high) so I thought this particular cross would produce an abundance of milk, but so far it has not. She may milk heavier her next lactation. Obviously one young unproven cow is not enough to make any reasonable judgement on the cross. Having said that, I agree with dun and cfpinz, I would expect the cross to produce heavy milkers and hard doers. If you have an abundance of feed, I bet they could raise some big calves crossed to Charolais. [/QUOTE]
