Back last spring I bought some Jersey bulls for my kids to bottle feed as a project and to sell for their personal bank accounts. There is one bull in the group that really stands out as a quality animal. He has been healthier and has grown faster than his counterparts. He is starting to really fill out nice. He will be a way above average specimen I think. I thought about having them hold on to this one and sell him as breeding stock (he is registered). I have heard that some dairy farms that run holstiens will use a jersey bull on their holstien heifers for easier calving and they still get a decent dairy type offspring. Would I get more bang for the buck doing it this way with this bull or just hauling him off to the sale barn and get whatever I can get?
