[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1239305, member: 852"] The cow needs to be dry now. 50-60 days dry prior to calving. Is she confirmed pregnant? If not, have her checked before drying her off... Getting a free Jersey cow in exchange for feeding a calf to 1200 lbs is not a good deal. Sounds like he wants the calf finished, and besides the things that can go wrong for the calf between now and then (14-18 months away), the 800lb-finish time usually costs about $500. The birth-800lb time is going to be the cow's feed cost for 6-7 months plus calf feed. Not worth a free Jersey IMO. [/QUOTE]
