what do you think of this jersey cow

[kycrawler]

4 years old. 200 days in milk bred for June calf

Needs her feet trimmed a bit... For a 4 yr. old doesn't show a lot of udder, even at 200 days, but that could be due to how she's fed. Only knocks I see on her, from the pic.

The photo looks altered. Like someone re-sized it and didn't keep the same height-width ratio.

On the front, her toes are too long and look how it bends her pasterns and makes her walk on her heels. Those need trimmed and maintained to keep her sound.

Her eyes, coat, nose and all look like she is healthy but just like all dairy cows I have an urge to feed her! She could stand a bit more flesh, but then I always think that.

Body condition seems ok although i agree with mo cows the photo looks altered way too long for a jersey. if the price is right I'd buy it.

There is something wrong with the picture. Makes my brain hurt to look at it.

That's the new Jersey stretch model, long and lean...

[haypoint]

If she were a bit longer, there'd be room for another bag under there.

Topside had it right. Shes a "New Jersey stretch".
The photo looks a little jacked up. The ratio of body length to overall height is off. If she is truly that long that's good. More room for feed conversion.
Its hard to tell but I would want to look at the width of her pelvic pinning. You can tell that by looking from the back and comparing the width to hip bones. That helps determine potential calving problems.
I sure wouldn't want to milk her by hand. I couldn't get my paws around those teats. She would probably do alright using a milker.
One other thing that you may want to look at could also be seen from a rear view is how far the mammary continues up between the back legs. That will give you an idea how much production potential she has.

Someone has placed the cow in front of a different background is the reason the picture looks odd. When was the picture taken and was it used in an add to sell the cow?

Makes me want a chocolate milkshake. I always want a milkshake.

She is my wife's pet cow pic was from this summer pic does make her look funny . She is one of those cows that will never be sold . Her feet have been trimmed and she is in better condition now . She is a low producer 4 gal a day when just fresh and about 2.5 the rest of the time . She actually has a nice udder and good teats for hand milking . We have milked her for 2 lactations now and she sure has fed alot of bucket calves
