[QUOTE="dun, post: 161390, member: 34"] We raised Gurnsey bottle calves many years ago but there aren;t that many Guernsey herds left which is part of the reason you see more Holstein and Jersey calves and dairys. The few I've seen lately in this area sell about like the Jerseys and if it's a small salebarn and mostly folks looking for a calf to raise in their backyard for the kids the Jerseys outsell them (they're a "cuter" calf). Guernseys are about the poorest muscled for the size of any of the dairy breeds. They also generally tend to be almost as big a dullard as Brown Swiss. Not particularly robust or vigorous. dun [/QUOTE]
