I have a friend that is thinking about purchasing a jersey cow that currently has a 5 day old angus calf on her, and she is 7 months bred to an angus bull. Would he have to pull that angus calf off the cow before she calves, and if so, how far ahead of her due date would he need to? He is hoping the jersey can raise the angus calf until 6 or 7 months, or weaning, so he does not have to feed the angus calf so much.
He is getting the cow for free for feeding out the angus calf to 1200 pounds, does that sound like a good deal? I am not a dairy person, so I am asking for him since he came to me.
