[QUOTE="FaddyCow, post: 1544815, member: 37950"] So I just bought my first Jersey and Jersey/Holstein cross heifers and they are due to calve the end of February or first of March. My Jersey/Holstein heifer has already started developing an udder.... (1) So does this mean she will produce a ton of milk or is it a sign of all heifers develop their udders differently? (2) If I don’t want to milk her can I just let her calf have all the milk and her production will go down based on the calf’s demand? Or will she keep producing a ton of milk and develop problems like mastitis? (3) If cows can’t slowdown their milk production naturally when do I get other calves to put on her... is it before or after the time she calves and what’s my time window to get the nurse calves so my cow doesn’t get mastitis? I would prefer to just let her calve and raise her calf, but if for her health I can’t do that I need advice on what to do. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
