[QUOTE="bigrob, post: 901762, member: 17933"] I'm thinking of getting a jersey nurse cow, I know there are a few threads on here about them but they seem to be limited. I'd like to get more information on it. What are some of y'alls experiences good or bad? What is the best approach, let the calves run loose with the cow, or use a milking pen/box and supervise? How much extra would you have to feed the cow for her to maintain condition? Would it be better to just let her raise her calf with a couple extra to weaning, or try to pull and replace every 3 months or so? Also how long do they dry up out of the year? I hear only 2-3 months, am I off by much? [/QUOTE]
