LOL that is exactly how I ended up having a cat named George. That was the first thing I said when I saw him - it stuck!
The calf is absolutely adorable! Will he be tall enough to service full sized girls?

Oh he is sooooo cute! Look at those eyes. I will keep him and he will be mine and I will call him Squishy! (in the words of Dori) LOL. He really is cute. It's a shame they have such high price tags. How big will get in relation to regular sized Jersey's? I will have to look up mini Jerseys to get an idea of how big they get.

thats it, when yall hear my husband tossed me out on my tator you will know its all creamers fault. Im sitting her going I know goats are better for milk but that makes it soo hard. I wonder how much mamma is giving vrs feed, thats been my catch point it the amount of milk vrs feed is the reason I have stuck with goats

That second picture is killing me! What a sweat picture!
We lost our Jersey milk cow a few weeks ago, we are still crying over our loss and were going to wait until spring to buy another heifer or cow but your picture! Oh, the sweetness, Jersey calves are SO cute!

You - MUST submit your pictures to this website! I bet anything they would be published and even put into their yearly calendar! If you don't submit them, someone else will, simply from being here on the net! (no not ME, but I bet someone out there would!) Cute and gorgeous a thousand times over!!!

The mini jersey my inlaws neighbor had was 3 years old, 38" at the hip & he said they got a minimum of 3 gallons per day.
Don't know if thats typical of the breed or not.
They bought their heifers from some breeder in New York & bred them to a small dexter bull.
My hubby won't be swayed even by the adorable baby pictures

If we had the extra cash I'd have one on the property in a heart beat! It's SO much easier making butter with cow's milk than goat's milk. I miss our house cow (who was half Jersey and half Holstein), but she was just too big for us to handle as compared to the mini goats. Plus, cows are SO much easier to AI than goats (ask me how I know..!)
I'm fortunate that I don't have to 'sway' DH with livestock purchases. I guess after 22 plus years I've got him pretty much trained, i.e. 'if Mama's happy EVERYONE'S happy!'

LOL Hubby is pretty indulgent to my variois insanities (I once fostered 6 Great Danes & 2 Irish Wolfhounds IN THE HOUSE, at the same time for 6 months...) but the $4,500 price tag was the deal breaker on the mini Jersey (to be fair, she was already bred, I thought it wasn't a horrible deal).......We're saving for a new house so hes being logical
My father in law gets his milk from this neighbor & last time we stayed he made french toast topped with fresh berries & whipped cream from the milk......Pure heaven

Buying livestock isn't insanity! I don't think...
Seriously, they are very expensive. Supply and demand though. Which means, us insane types need to buy some and breed up some more expensive miniature calves and flood the market!
There's nothing like fresh, raw cream. I sure miss our cow.

What a cutie he is. There is someone near me that has a full size Jersey bull up for stud, but what caught my eye is he is trained to SADDLE - yup there was a picture of him being ridden by a teenage girl. I had always heard that wasn't much on this earth that was meaner than a Jersey bull, but I guess that isn't always the case.

We got a great deal on him - deserved him at 3 days old for $400 - we are going to breed him to our Dexter and Full size Jersey and grade up over time.
He was at or under 30lbs at birth and 20'' at the hip. He should be under 42'' technically, but many are 32” to 36” or smaller (cows) - as a bull he will be, based on birth size, very small.
