Chillin' with the herd
Hubby bought a bull calf at auction last week. A little Holstein that we will turn into a steer. Yesterday BIL and I drove to look a Black Jersey with calf. They are now our and mom is bred back to a Jersey too. We will be picking those two up before thanksgiving.
The calf is 7 weeks old and not related to the mom but she has adopted her. Calf is a red Angus Jersey cross. If the cow caught and if it is a boy will will keep it to breed to the heifer calf. The Jersey the cow was bred too is docile about 45 inches tall with some white on it. If she has a heifer we are going to keep her for breeding.
This was all unexpected. But hubby and BIL are experienced milk cow people as they were raised on a farm and also worked at dairy farms over the young years. BIL has much more experience since he raised many cows and helped on farms after leaving family farm.
It will be great to have fresh milk once again.
