Snickers is mostly Jersey, but looks more Holstien. She is out of one of our homebred Jersey cows and sired by a mostly Jersey, partly Holstien bull. She is smaller than a Holstein, but larger than the average Jersey. She is a first-freshener, bred back for her second freshening. Gives a good amount for the average family, not a high producer. She averaged at about 3-1/2 gallons a day, and peaked at 4 gallon a day. Her production will probably go up a little as this was her first freshening.
She was preg-checked by the vet in mid-June, and was 6-7 months along. Snickers is bred to our herdsire, Hercules(Lee). Both Snickers and Lee can be found here on my webpage.

Snickers is the 4th picture down, picture was taken a month ago right after morning milking. Lee, the bull she is bred to, is the second to last picture on the page. His calves so far have been very nice.
She is an easy-keeper, not needing grain to keep her weight on. Healthy, never needed medicated. She is in the process of drying off and will be sold as dry and bred.
She is not hard to milk, but is strong-willed and I don't think I'd reccomend her for a beginner milker. She is good and likes to be milked as long as you don't switch things around on her to often. She likes routine.
We are selling Snickers and M&M because we do not need 5 milk cows. M&M is most likely already sold.
Sold as heavy-bred for $1500. Located near Mountain Grove, MO. If not sold before she calves, she will be $1200, in milk
She was born in the middle of a snowstorm and was licked dry by her mother, aunts and grandma. And sooo much more Jersey looking then than she is now.
She's beautiful!
