Dairy Heifers 4-Sale-Mountain View, MO.

The response has been overwhelming on the heifers. We have gone from having over 30 to sell, to less than 15. Here are some of the heifers that are still available. All are Jersey/Holstien crosses. Ages range from 2 weeks to 5 months. Pictured youngest to oldest.

Here are pictures of our dairy cow herd that these calves come from. Just a little background.

Put one in the back of your car and stop by here on your way..... I have a nice place you can spend the night. I am sure my baby would love to see her old 'mates' again. And you can bring me #916 while you are at it!

Sara maybe your on to something. Buying one of those beautiful heifers, with great prices are few and far between...Maybe worth the drive for that endles supply of dairy products. You should already be in your vehicle for #916....Healthy stock Emily...Topside

Thanks all.
The cows have just started up rotational grazing out on the pastures again after a long winter on hay and they sure are enjoying it. There is nothing I enjoy more than just watching cows eat....its so peaceful.
Here are a couple pictures I didn't post.

My favorite cow in the herd. Reasons I like her? She never has any problems, she is always full of milk, she is calm, she milks out well.....and she is just dang cute! She just makes me smile everytime she walks into the barn.

And "The Lee Man"(Hercules). I see burger in this guys future.....which I hate because I really like him.

No chance to get too tubby when he is trying to service 70 cows......most of whom are quite a bit taller than he is.LOL!! No, bulls just keep getting more massive as they get more mature. That is pretty much all muscle. Lee is 5 years old now so he is getting quite bulky. I'm hoping I can hang onto him for a couple more seasons......but that will all depend on his attitude.
