[QUOTE="rustyb, post: 604357, member: 8624"] ye i have been thinking of doing something similar, well i got a jersey at my house and she adopted an angus heifer we bought from the sale yards, shes clocking up around 5 months, perhaps i shuld put it back to 4 months and turnover 3 calves a year, well this is her first calf, i shuld put a picture of the calf up. we dont have a crate tho, we just have a electric fence out the front, the bak, where ever we want her, and ye we have the calf tied by a long rope to a nearby tree in the grazing area, so ye she takes gud care of the calf, but ive been a big concerned about her condition, her hair has been getting lighter in colour lately. we feed her cow meal, but im not sure if she could handel a second calf, it would b a bit of a hassel, but we might try it sometime. On my farm it would be great to run one or 2 nurse cows and use them to build up numbers by raising purchased calves, if numbers are needed, it also gives u the abilty to select your calf from the yards, i eventually want a full black angus herd and i reackon thats how im going to do it, just keep buying the angus's heifers at the yards so ye , ill see if i can get a good picture of the calf and mother up hear sometime, it will probably be under a different subject, but probably in the same topic thanks [/QUOTE]
