i already check out the sister site and registered but honestly everyone seems to have such varied and strong opinions I am having difficulty finding what I need.
I want a cow to milk. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a jersey but they are expensive. I mean wicked expensive. Someone is selling a 6 day old jersey cross angus heifer. She is so dang pretty. Soft brown little sweetheart. Now we have raised cows before but these were beef cows turned pet cause we are wimps. So I know nothing about milk cows. I know full jersey would be better but there is roughly an $1100 difference in price for same age heifers. Anyone have a clue if this cross will be a decent milk cow. This milk would just be for our family of 8.
