We bought these fellas for 100.00 each - (not the jersey, the calves) They were bulls when we bought them, but are now steers:
This one we had to pay more for, we gave 500.00 for her, but figured we got such a good deal on the calves that she would repay us with calves herself:
This one my friend bought, she gave 600.00 for her. Not sure what kind, I thought a hereford x maybe. She is 4 yrs. old (and did I mention NOT fun to load into the stock trailer....) She is just here temporarily until she gets her fence in order. I told her if she gets out, they might as well shoot her (a real pain in the &*#, this cow is) I think she got a good deal on this cow, too bad she doesn't know anyone with a bull :
Here is Lilly, we're gonna keep her around for a while. We know we paid to much for her (950.00) because she was from a proven milk producing herd. She is bred and due to calve in March. She is bred to a Shorthorn. (I AM MAKING BUTTER I SAY!!) (lol):
None had ever been grained; only hay and pasture. We feed hay and a mix that a good friend of mine sells to us that has cows. Ground corn, vitamins minerals, etc. so hoping to put some weight on everyone (except that big one...lol)
Now before you slam em' too bad - realize we are not big cattle ranch people. We have a family of four, and our only goal is to keep the freezer full.
