Yesterday my jersey cross heifer had her first calf, i got her as a milk cow, only problem being.. I’ve neved milked a cow before! So can i get some tips/advice/instruction? I do know how to do the actual milking and get milk out, i did so this morning while i was helping baby out (long story)...

He was doing better, then got worse! He got stuck between two posts and got too cold and lost ability to walk again. This is currently

She was licking him and everything he was just too cold! This is her first. She did a good job with him

Today was a long day. Woke up, still recovering from the flu, it was 9° outside and i just knew my pregnant cow was gonna pick today to give birth, so i put on 4 layers of clothes, trekked out in the snow, and sure enough there was a little baby laying on the ground. Half froze. So i scooped him...

Idk why the quotes are all messed up haha. But anything about only being able to get certain nutrients from animals products is pretty much made up by companies who are profiting on animals products. A burger or some fish here and there won’t kill ya, but our bodies are 100% designed to live off...

That's true. Other animals don't drink milk past infancy let alone another species milk lol but I've read recently that milk and butter and other animal fats/products are pretty good for you. At least the raw, unpasteurized ones. Which i can believe. I don't think store ones are as good. And I...

Ps that stallion is not stood to the public so I’ll have to talk his owner into letting me use him :lau

So guys, back to the reason this thread was started. Breeding June. I still want to. She’s my only horse now, which i love tbh, but i know she doesn’t love it, and i definitely wouldn’t be mad about having two horses, and this summer I’ll be at my own place (fiiiiiinally :wee) And i debated...

Ahh. The cream is the best part. I can’t wait lol. And yep, second that, steers = fat, bulls = muscle If you wanna get technical we shouldn’t be drinking milk at all lol it’s pretty bad for ya, but it tastes good. And it makes cheese. Ya win some ya lose some. But yeah if you’re just buying...

I was considering doing that as well, but then if she rejects it i don’t wanna have to bottle feed it. So i haven’t decided yet

Yep, great for both! Jerseys milk is creamier and richer (which some people don’t like because they’re use to watery store milk) but it’s what i want, and i bred her to an angus because i only need one milk cow for myself, so if she has a bull calf he’ll get the ole snip snip and when he’s big...

She’s mostly jersey with a little bit of Holstein

Totally unrelated but i am excited, my Georgia should be having a baby in the next couple weeks :love Wanna take any stabs at what color/gender the baby will be? The bull is a black angus. Ps line me up some cute name options

I know!! People always say they’re mean and I’m like whaaaaaatever. And my cousin pointed out one time (because i love reining horses and we were looking at stallions together) that you don’t see many palomino reining and cow horses because people breed away from it because they think they’re...

It’s because he’s going through a growth spurt gangly stage right now! He’s really long and lanky at the moment but he’ll fill out
