Hello All~
I am looking into purchasing jersey cow from a commercial dairy. We would be pasturing her, and though we have raised cattle before, never had to transition from grain to grass. I would appreciate any advice from someone who has done this before. We would be keeping her on some grain, but just as a treat at milking time with kelp and minerals. Also wondering what # protein for feed to give her. Heard about a product called corner post by free choice enterprises that is supposed to help the cow, giving her the probiotics that will help her digest the grass instead of grain, but looks like more for the larger dairy's.
Thank you,
Ann
