Does anyone raise ayshire. What are there temperment. Ive read they do well on grazing and still produce guality amount of milk. Is this a good breed for a homesteader that just wants the milk and to raise a few bottle babies. What does Heifers or cows range in price.
Folks dont blast me Im not interested in Dexters or the Jerseys. Ive been doing alot of reading on shorthorns and canadienne and the Ayshire and I do like the smaller breeds. and am mainly looking at a good forager without having to add alot of grain.
I have ten Acres in good Quality Tifton 85 Bermuda and was able to fill my small barn. I will cross fence it this winter and should be able to run a couple of Dairy cows this spring and still put up Hay for Horses and for cows. The horses will be one a seperate Pasture not part of the 10 acres. They Dairy Cows will primarily be pastured feed 9 months out of the year. I have already overseeded the bermuda field with Rye grass and Oats that I will either feed or make hay with it.
Thanks Arnold
