[QUOTE="francismilker, post: 711955, member: 7028"] I'd second the full size. I've got some mini jerseys and am not real impressed with their sustainability on a grass based diet. To keep them in good body condition you have to pump the feed to them like they're on a confinement dairy operation and they don't produce as much milk. By the time you get a gallon of milk in the icebox you have as much money in it as if you went to the grocery store and bought it. Besides, of all the mini jerseys that I've been involved with, not one of them had good udder confirmation and teat length for handmilking. I do have one mini-jersey heifer that was born this year that is 1/2 mini-jersey X 1/2 Milking Shorthorn. I think by looking at her sire's dam's teat length she should have better handles. I am considerably far away from you though. The last time I drove to Denver to go snow-skiing it took me about 12 hours to get there. She's really gentle and haltar broke. My son showed her at the county fair this year. Born June 22nd 2009. [/QUOTE]
