For those of you with experience, they are probably stupid..
We are looking at purchasing a Jersey that just freshened for the first time in April and has been exposed back to a Jersey bull. She is a 2 y/o. We weren't looking to purchase until we got moved, but she looks good and we are having a hard time finding Jerseys out in western North Dakota...
They say she is currently milking about 3-4 gallons a day.
I guess my questions are:
- We move in August. Should we dry her up prior to that? It will be a 4 day trip min. with a stopover. If we don't dry her up, would we be able to continue milking her through the trip and once we get to the new location? Or would it be too much stress?
- What would you consider a good price for a 2 y/o that is exposed back to a Bull and is milking 3-4 gallons a day? I have asked if she is halter broke and such. The guy said he milks her in an open pen while she eats that she's real docile...
I have 2 photos, but don't have them uploaded online to provide a URL to attach to this.
