Baby Girl is a sweet, smaller-framed 2-year-old. She had her first calf on April 10th and has been a great mom. Baby Girl has good teat size and has been milked both by machine and by hand, doing quite well with either. She has kept her bull calf on her since birth and is now taking additional calves as well. Because she is A1A2, we have decided to use her as a nurse cow, but she should also work well as either a family milk cow or a nurse cow. She was milked for about a month and settled into it quite easily for a first-time fresh heifer. Her bull calf may also be available for sale with her, depending on when she sells. The calf is not included in her price, and his value will continue to increase as he grows. We would also be perfectly happy keeping him for future freezer beef.

Anota is a sweet girl who calved on her own in early December. She has good teat length and has been calf-sharing while being milked once per day. We recently separated her calf and placed it with a few nurse cows so that all her milk can go into our bulk tank while we have her. She is good most days during milking, but can get spooked and may throw a kick if you move too quickly when touching her. Her mom was a great producer, and I believe she will be as well. We don’t yet have a clear idea of her production since her calf was only recently separated. Anota is confirmed pregnant to our registered A2A2 Jersey bull, Nathan, and is due around mid-December.

Candy is a first-time fresh heifer. She has a nice, even udder with medium teat length. She calved easily on her own in early March and has been a great mom, even starting to nurse other calves along with her own. We have milked her a little by both hand and machine, but we mostly use her as a nurse cow because she is A1A2 and we can’t sell her milk mixed with our A2A2 milk. I would not recommend her to a beginner who wants to hand milk, but if you have some experience milking fresh heifers, I don’t think you would have any trouble getting her settled into your milking program. If you need a nurse cow to raise a couple of calves, she is already used to nursing extras along with her own on our farm and should take to that role well for you.

Leann is a good girl with great body structure. She has been about an average-producing cow and is well-behaved for milking. She has medium teat length and a nice, symmetrical udder. She milks well by machine but is not a fan of hand milking. She is confirmed pregnant and due late July to early August, bred to Nathan. Leann is not an “in-your-pocket” or pet-type cow—just a solid, dependable girl who does her job and won’t bother anyone. She is food-motivated and likes to come in near the beginning of milking time.

Sadie is a sweet, full-framed girl. She holds weight easily and is a great producer. She is currently on once-a-day milking and giving close to 7 gallons per day. She would probably do great on a twice-a-day milking schedule, but we don’t have the time to milk her separately from the rest of our herd. She is broke to lead and quite gentle. She can be milked easily by hand or machine and has a temperament that I believe most beginners could handle. However, if you are new to milking, I would definitely recommend getting a milking machine for this girl to ensure she is milked out completely. With her high production, it would take a long time for a beginner to milk her by hand, and I could see both the cow and owner getting frustrated with the situation. Sadie calved in early March. She has been exposed to our bull Nathan, though it is probably still too early to check for pregnancy.
