So we are about to get a jersey or 2 for family cows. I was wondering what all I will need to feed them? Can they live off just hay and snacks (veggie cutoffs from making dinner) or do they need feed/grain as well?
Suburban has a valid point. Jerseys produce a LOT of milk, and getting two bred cows that may calve around the same time means a lot of milk to have to deal with, more than likely a lot more than you need. And even if they don't calve at the same time, you're still going to end up at a point in time where they're both lactating and both producing more milk than you need.Arkantex said:Um... Yes! The cows we are trying to get are both about 24 months old and both pregnant. I want to get both of them, but my wife doesn't agree. Her theory is buy one and end up with two rather than buy 2 and end up with 4. I thought it was the more the marrier right????
