[QUOTE="regolith, post: 906183, member: 9267"] I can guess that at $1100 you could get just about any good Jersey cow... and if that is what you want check her out, bonus is that she's already a nurse cow so you don't have to wonder if she'll take orphan calves or not. What I'm thinking is that a lot of dairy cows have faults that make them unsuitable for dairying but perfectly good as a nurse cow, and can be bought for their meat value or just above. In this country that would be $350 - 400 against $1000 - 1500 for a good one. Not having recorded ancestry also halves their value in this area. [/QUOTE]
