farmgirl6 · #1 04/14/12, 08:28 PM

does anyone have a Jersey Bull who tests A2/A2 and is selling straws? Annabelle won't be ready for about three months but want to be ready (she is in heat now but only just a year) she is not very big, mini Jersey would be nice

He found an A2/A2 Jersey bull with good conformation and bought several straws. I'll bet he'll share the name of the bull and where to buy the semen with you.

Dexter/Jersey cross, anyone? Go to http://www.dextercattle.org/AI%20Bulls.htm and scroll down to Brenn of Paradise, an excellent A2/A2 Dexter bull. He weighed 27# at birth and his calves run pretty small, too.

It's not a bad idea at all to use a Dexter bull with known low birth weight calves for her first calf. The chances of a complications are greatly reduced. Unless you're aiming for a registered calf.

Jersey calves will be small enough, I have not had much problems ever over the years with jersey calves being born. Each AI company has a list of bulls that are A2 A2, I have been breeding cows to all bulls that are A2-A2 this year. So just check with your AI Tech, and vet to see who has what. > Thanks Marc

Dexter/Jersey cross, anyone? Go to Artificial Insemination Bulls and scroll down to Brenn of Paradise, an excellent A2/A2 Dexter bull. He weighed 27# at birth and his calves run pretty small, too.

that is a good idea also, have been looking at Dexter's as well..will check it out, thanks!

How do you find your ai tech in your area, just google?

First contact any dairy farms that are around, as most of them AI. You can check if your vet knows anybody also.

You can see who they may have as a rep in your area:

ABS Global
1525 River Rd
DeForest, WI 53532
Phone: 608-846-3721

It will probably be pretty tough to find somebody using Google. You could post a request in the farm and garden category of your local Craigslist and you may get lucky.

We sold our Action bull to a couple in Virginia. He is dual registered with the AJCA and the AMJA&R. She had him tested and he came back A2/A2. She is going to have him collected. I can give you her email address if you pm me.
