[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 914033, member: 1863"] I have raised several Jersey bottle calves over the years and have bought several to help keep the nurse cow miled down proper. I had one only one turn out to be a "keeper" from a breeding standpoint (phentotypically). I leased him out to some dairy farms that were breeding Holstein heifers and wanted calving ease and the ptential to keep some of the female offspring. Jersey bull calves are allot of fun when they are young and playfull. They attach themselves to you easily and act like pets.....................until...........they get about 2 years old and then their whole demeanor changes. They become overnight monsters. They should ride them in rodeos but I don't think the cowboys want to deal with a ticked off Jersey bull. There is no quit in them when they are mad. Mine learned that accessing females was worth going through 5 strands of hot barbed wire. It didn't phase him at all like he felt no pain and the wire was just a nuisance. I got him loaded and off to the sale he went. They do make great watch dogs for the pasture though.....tresspassers will only do it once :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
