[QUOTE="kdougl, post: 467577, member: 7385"] My neighbor and I have each been raising a few calves per year and sharing our pasture with each other. We live close to a Dairy and we buy day-old bull calves from them. I usually bottle feed mine, but my neighbor has a cow which is one half holstien and one half Angus. Every year when his cow freshens, he buys two or three additional new-born calves and his cow produces enough milk for all of them. His way is much less work then mine. I kind of wanted to try my hand at a cow/calf operation, so this year I traded one of my holstien steers for a heifer out of his cow. So my heifer is one quarter holstein and three quarters angus. I have already had her bred and she should have her first calf next June. My question is, do you think that a 1/4 holstein cow could produce enough milk to nurse multiple calves the way my neighbors cow (which is 1/2 holstien) does? Thanks in advance. Doug. [/QUOTE]
