[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1844016, member: 25884"] Good to see Bessie calved and all looks good. Nice big calf... And contrary to a comment you made in your Feb 17 post, and pictures, she was in very good shape to calve for a jersey. If they get too fat they more often have milk fever problems and that is a continual problem with older jerseys... She is NOT supposed to look like a beef cow when she is ready to calve... Good luck finding a calf you can afford to put on her... saw a post by a friend on some sale in PA... the sale barn there listed their sales report... and a black baby calf brought $10.70...per pound... weighed just a smidge over 100 so brought $1070.... for a SINGLE baby bottle calf... Good luck with that... OMG..... I used to get upset if a $50 calf died... can you imagine a calf like that getting sick and dying???? And we all know that they can just get sick and die in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
