The Wisconsin fellow who sold me the two Jersey Cows back in June has called with news that he has a 3 week old Jersey heifer calf for sale; $300.
As my Jersey cows are 7 and 8 years old, and one never knows when or if the next calf born will be a heifer, I think I'll jump on this deal. He has a closed herd and uses AI from New Zealand bulls.
He said he will have 2 or 3 more calves later in the winter but will they be bulls or heifers? I do dred another long trip down to Wisconsin, but a Jersey heifer is a rare commodity in these parts.
The good news the calf is from a cow with long tits!!! Lord knows I wouldn't take anything for the cow I'm milking now but God love her big heart, she has tits the size of Bing cherries.
Anyway, just a bit of Wolf Cairn Moor cattle news.
I'm still trying to get a vet to come out to see what happened to my old Milking Devon's calf.
