Thank you for welcoming me into your group! I’ve always dreamed of homesteading and I’m proud to say I’m one step closer!!
A family member is gifting me a pregnant, lactating Jersey cow that is very small and I’m having a hard time figuring out how much supplemental feed I’ll need for her. I’ve never had a cow, let alone milked one. We have about an acre of grazing space but how much hay/feed should I expect to buy for her monthly? We’re in central Texas and have tall grass. Any other advice is appreciated!!
