Thinking of buying a calf, any advice.

thats 1 goodlooking heifer.an the price is real fair.if i was there id buy all 3 of the heifers you mentioned.id guess her weight at 550 or 600lbs.you need to have the vet check her to make sure she isnt a freemartin.she will make a great family nurse cow.

Thanks again all. I'm leaning more towards the jersey x. She'll be smaller which is a plus for us and I don't think we'll need the amount of milk the holsteins would produce. Although I may end up regretting that thought. Like with the chickens when I said oh 12 will be plenty. I think we're up to about 60 now with more in the incubator.

You can always get more later. They are a herd animal after all.
