Hi,
20 years ago i fell in love with jersey cows,Their cute faces, brown color, and gentleness won me over.
now in my late 20's i married a Hereford cattle breeder (he has 50 head) and i haven't really thought about owning a jersey before but now i really want one. We feed our ford's hay and grass. And i was wondering if it would be okay to have a jersey running off of that ( milk wouldn't be our main priority ). If it isn't okay what other breeds would that diet be good for. i would like a sweet cow that i could show in my county and state fairs but wouldn't be too much a a hassle, i woulden't mind having a meat cow but our Herefords are nowhere near show ring quality.
Thank you in advance,
