Bred Cows For Sale, York County, PA

[curdy]

We have 4 bred heifers born at the end of 6/11 and early 7/11. We also have a bred cow born 2/07, and this will be her 4th calf. All 5 were purchased back in 7/11 from friends of ours that run a large organic rotational grazing dairy farm. They are one of the most respected dairy farms in Lancaster County and are frequently hosts of many classes for PASA. The cows were all grass fed there, and were all grass fed here. All very well tempered. They are a mix of NZ Freisen Holstein, Jersey, and a little Dutch Belted.

We bought with the intention to milk them, but plans have changed. I don't farm for a living, so its hard to justify keeping them around. I believe I can work out a very fair deal with you if interested.







I don't have a good picture of the last heifer. She is a bit smaller framed than the others and appears to be more Jersey. She was AI'd with Jersey semen, the other were bred with Holstein semen.

Please do not hesitate to ask any questions.

Interesting !!! You do not see that Lineback character too often.
I'm from W. Pa but lived in Emigsville .... N. of York back in the '80's for a couple years.

The first cow looks pretty poor. Does she have a calf pulling her down?

Is that a pure Randall, or a cross?

[curdy]

First cow is the one born in '07. We got her as a nanny cow for 2 calves. She bonded nicely and it worked out very well. She's well tempered and friendly. We didn't milk her because everything went to the calves, but she goes into a headlock just fine.

The lineback is not registered in anyway, and based on the mix on the farm from which we purchased, I would bet its a cross.

curdy, Judy in IN mentioned the poor condition of the first cow, and I agree. However many calves she has raised or is now raising, I think she needs some groceries now. Hope you accept this as a kind suggestion.

I lived near York 1986-87 and then moved to Millersburg 1988 (North East of Harrisburg)

I have a strong interest in draft horses and always attended the events at the historical farm at Shafferstown in Lancaster County. I usually helped out the teamsters who were working horses on various equipment.

I think this pic was taken 1987. These roanish and speckled Linebacks were there plowing and I enjoyed a good visit with their owner.

Yes, I accept it as a kind suggestion and appreciate it. Its not the best picture of her but I can say she was always more on the thin side. She has access to all the hay she can eat, so any drop in condition certainly isn't from lack of feed. As far as her actions and demeanor she acts just the same and is as lively as when we got her. Still, all things considered, I know she's worth less than the others and have her priced accordingly. I have no issue with someone having a vet check her out before purchase, and that's already being arranged with a few potential buyers.
