[QUOTE="rainie, post: 355874, member: 6006"] Our kids are raised on fresh milk to. They prefer it to store bought. Lot more long term health benefits for your kids too. Checkout [url=http://www.eatwild.com]http://www.eatwild.com[/url] for more info on this. I wouldn't get to stressed out about your jersey heifer. Hopefully you'll go out one morning and she'll be licking off her new calf. I aI'd to an angus bull one year. We got 6 heifer calves off him which we overwintered. About january other heifers in the pen were bulling and I couldn't figure out why these one's weren't. Well to make a long story short, these heifers came into heat between 4 and 5 months old, got bred and stuck. I was planning on 6 caesarians because they were so small. The first heifer to start calving, I backed up to the chute, called the vet and said I was on my way in.I noticed she had 2 small feet coming so I thought maybe if I didn't have to pull too hard we could calve her out. The last 5 heifers were the same. I'd hook onto the trailer expecting the worst, and they were all the same ... easy to medium pulls and all were good mom's. Extremely fertile, but good mom's.
