Thanks, I did get to talk to someone there, unfortunately they said they only get in 1 or 2 young jersey heifers at each sale Does anyone know where I could buy 25 or 30 jersey or brown swiss heifers. Thanks Nicholas

[topside1]

Nich, sorry to say but it's going to be impossible to find that volume of Jerseys at any auction. My closest auction operates weekly with 100-200 calves per week. Out of that bunch maybe 4 will be Jersey Heifer Calves. Well that's what's happening here...Topside

You'd have to keep an eye on the farm auction calander and wait for a jersey place to sell out for that many.

[redrider_00]

Thanks to all, I will keep looking around. The size of the group doesn't matter to me, but then again I can't drive 800 miles for 2-3 calves either. I had one cattle broker call me and has 7- 300lb jersey heifers that came straight off a Amish dairy and wants $300/ea delivered. I can't see how this would be a bad way to start. Seems fairy reasonable. Thanks Nicholas

[myersfarm]

yes ...a dallor a pound is the going price now....but delieveried is nice also...

[springvalley]

Hey Redrider, You better snag those jersey heifers, 300 delivered is a good price. I wouldn`t sell my heifers for that. grow them up get them bred and sell them as springers you may do alright. Thanks Marc.

[Gregg Alexander]

Those jersey heifers delivered for $300 is a steal. Just make sure those are not freemartain

[redrider_00]

I told the broker I would take them last night. He is going to bring them sometime next week. Do you think I should ask him if they are breedable? I generally trust people and I wouldnt think a small Amish dairy farmer would try to sell a group of freemartins. Supposedly the man needed the money for them.With these low dairy prices I guess I would believe him. Tough times are being had all over. Tell me your thoughts. Thanks again to all. Nicholas

[myersfarm]

amish that drives ...I WOULD HAVE THEM TAKEN TO A VET BEFORE I PAIDED....you asked for our thoughts that is my thoughts

[redrider_00]

The broker that is selling them to me is not Amish, he bought them off the Amish farm.

[gone-a-milkin]

A lot of the Amish folks out here raise up calves to sell. They buy them as day olds off the dairies (or from the auctions cheap) and raise em up to whatever size. So, just because they are from an "Amish Farm" doesn't necessarily mean they were BORN there.

My personal experience with Amish cows....they dont know a thing about electric fences. (seriously.)

[Heritagefarm]

This is funny, I found this thread on Google. Too bad they don't have a website.

[myersfarm]

This the sale i us to sell my grown calfs at

[Callieslamb]

I doubt if one Amish man has 7 free martin jersey heifers. I'd have found out more before buying, but hey, you never can tell. They might be really great cows. Keep us informed.
