[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1806188, member: 42782"] This is a bottle raised Jersey heifer from a dairy. They are not raised by their dams like beef because they make way too much milk. At the price of milk replacer I weaned her off at 3 months with calf grain and hay. Fed her 2% of her weight each day with 14% stocker grower and she gained 2 lbs a day on washy pasture. When the grass came on shes been putting on 2 lbs a day on just grass, fat and happy and is bulling every few weeks. I need to get her bred in August or Sept. to get her to calf at 24 months during the grassus maximus next April. Haveing an AI tech come out multiple times for shots and inseminations for 1 heifer that might even not take the first time-- Seems like I should rent a Jersey yealing bull calf. I'll but an add in the paper since this is dairy country- Wanted to rent - Jersey yearling bull calf for breding- I fatten, you get him back and eat him. [/QUOTE]
