"Black Jersey"? I assume it's a Jersey Angus cross?

The Spains, out here in my end of the county, run a Jersey bull on all their Beefmaster heifers.
Have never seen the calves...always wondered what they looked like - and what they did with them...
Have seen some of their Braunvieh-cross calves, out of Beefmaster calves, and they.are.NICE!

I told my customer that has 9,800 milking that his heifers weren't cycling for some reason. He ran a list of tbrd=0 heifers and went out and hit over three hundred head with lut. Turns out his new calf guy was leaving what few bulls they keep in with the heifers until they were four months old and about half of what they sent me for the next few months was already bred.Lucky_P":39nc4m33 said:They're precocious, all right.
Still remember my only visit to one of my Jersey dairy clients' farm, back in the '80s. So far as I know his genetics were well-respected and sought after - but good God, what a crap hole. Don't recall what I was there for, but he had several 14-month old heifers that didn't weigh an ounce over 400 lb. - in the milking string. So... they probably got bred at 5 months of age...probably by their brothers.
