Where to buy a milk cow

[alexfarms]

Where can a person buy a good milk cow or two? Prefer ones i can milk by hand, although I don't know who'll milk her when i am gone? Which isn't very often. Probably prefer a jersey, although just a guess. We always had holsteins when i was a kid and they were good, but pretty big and the bull calves are mean sometimes.What is the best breed for hand milking and home use of milk?

Go to a dairy or dairies in your area and you can probably get a well trained older cow. I would only buy if they have a clean operation ,cows are clean and well cared for and they keep DHI records. Also, make sure the cow is bred back and know her exact date of freshening (how far into her lactation she is).
