Been getting jersey bull calves from dairys and they have been selling good. Have the chance to get Holsteins which I do want, but what's more profitable ? I'm from northern Iowa
Best and most sufficient way to feed a jersey steer to finish ? I've read online that there is a mix when you can finish a jersey steer at 13-14 months. Some type of feed to get them fatter before they get the large frame ?
Decided to buy 6 Jersey Bull calves from a dairy for 25$ a piece. Was wondering if theres absolutely any money in these. Bottle feeding now and they are going good. When would be a good time to sell them? I thought maybe once theyre done bottle feeding then sell them or feed them for 3 months...
