We are considering getting a Jersey for a family milker, then feeding out her calves for freezer beef. I would plan for the calf to be born in early Spring and put it out to pasture for that Summer/Fall then feed hay over the Winter, then put it back on pasture in the following Spring and finally butcher in the Fall. Has anyone out there ever followed this timeline and kept track of how many pounds of hay it takes to feed out a calf.
Thanks in advance for your input.
