[QUOTE="ohiosteve, post: 879587, member: 17303"] One other HUGE benefit of the jersey breed is you can by bull calves for next to nothing. Over the past 3 years I bought 8 bull calves and paid 25 bucks for 6 of them still on the bottle and paid 75 bucks for the other 2 that were ready to wean. I fed the bottle calves dump milk from a neighboring dairy and got it for free. (milk from cows treated with antibiotics that they had to dump down the drain.) In my opinion the money saved from the purchase cost of a beef feeder more than makes up for the loss of yield, but I am no financial expert for sure. [/QUOTE]
