    Ho How far are you from MS? If the stockyards here had calves more than once every blue moon I would consider getting them. Even though I am not experienced with dairy cows, I have been raising bottle babies for 5yrs now and do have a good working knowledge with them. When I first started...

    And on the feeding situation, for the past few days I have only been feeding once per day early morning when I milk Lorraine. And I no longer feed the bred cow and younger heifers at the barn. I now feed them in the pasture closer to the house under some trees so they will be shaded while they...

    First off let me say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS SO THOROUGHLY! You are THE BOMB! The 1st calf heifer is not milking heavy I don't think. Her bags are nowhere near as large as the bred cow's. But she is nursing 2 calves that look excellent...

    Thank you ma'am. I do have a bit of knowledge about cattle as a general topic, I just have a complete lack of knowledge in regards to dairy cattle specifics and I want my ladies to be in the best condition they can be in.

    Thank you so much for chiming in. And yes ma'am I do know how dangerous jersey bulls are, especially when raised by human hands because they don't fear us. My husband raised beef cattle for years-his whole life he has had them until we had to sell out back in 2018 which was the 1st time in over...

    I do completely understand and know firsthand how dangerous any bull can be that is raised by human hands because they have no fear of us in them. Right now Taz is 7mos old and with getting all these new heifers he has shown out some. Back when we were still raising beef cattle I had a holstein...

    I'm not quite sure how to add my location but I am in Simpson county, Mississippi outside of Mendenhall city limits in the middle of nowhere east central MS and it is in the 90°F range here now in the wonderful humid deep south. I will gladly upload some pics of my herd. I forgot to mention we...
