WTB Jersey cow in Central IL

I'm looking for a Jersey cow, in milk now, does not need to be bred back but needs to be able to get me through till my heifer calves next spring. I'd like her to have long enough teats so that she can be hand milked w/out strip milking. Would prefer it to give less than 4gal. per day. Willing to pay the right price for the right cow. I can tame her if she's not use to hand milking. I'd be ok with other DAIRY breeds also, if they are NOT milking 7-8gal. per day. My goal here, is to get AWAY from milking with my machine.

Thanks
Jill

Well, right now I have a line on one with small teats. I’ll email the guy to see what’s going on or if he has one that will be better suited for hand milking. I’d travel if it’s the cow for me! Can you post some pics and info on the cow?

I'm in southern Misouri,but I do have a ten year old jersey I'd sell.She's open has all four quarters and a good disposition.I didn't breed her back because I've got a big bunch of heifers coming in this fall and I need to make some empty spaces.I'd take 500.00 if any one was interested...

My original post on the 14th! I'd rather keep this public, I can post the emails as well. I used GODS money to get the cow to a better place.

After the theatrics I saw here, I would, in future, offer for sale only to folks I know personally or those referred by people I trust.
