[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 97666, member: 1049"] Lancemart, A few suggestions: 1. The Vermont Ag Review and the Massachusetts Market Bulletin both usually have Jerseys listed along with other fine cattle. Search for their websites--I couldnt locate either, but know they have them. 2. Take a drive in your rural farm areas and find some dairy farms. Stop in and introduce yourself. Most will have heifers for sale or know someone who does. 3. Contact your local Extension Service. Find out when the next 4H Dairy show is. There will be many great 4H kids and parents with heifers for sale at their farm. 4. There are several livestock markets in New England that sell large volumes of cattle during the week. The 2 largest and closest to you are the FLAME ( Farmers Live Animal Market Exchange ) in Littleton Mass on Tuesdays. AND Northampton Cooperative Auction Association South Deerfield, MA. Google for more info on them both. Go visit the auctions and talk with dairy farmers that are there. 5. Some of the state universities have their own dairy herds. UMass, UNH, UConn, UMaine. Contact them. 6. Go to the local grain store and put an ad on their bulletin board that you are looking for a Jersey heifer. Talk to people at the grain store and you will have lots of info of where the best heifers are in the area. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
