Fescue is almost 3 years old. She calved easily on her own at the end of May. She learned the milking routine quickly and behaves well for both hand and machine milking. She has nice, long teats and a well-balanced udder. For the first month of her lactation, she was milked once per day while calf sharing. Since then, we have designated her as a nurse cow. She enjoys the calves and does a great job raising them. She has never shown aggression toward them and quickly learned to stand still while they nurse. Fescue would make a great family cow or nurse cow. She is also a good producer. While calf sharing during early lactation, we were getting almost 4 gallons per day from her. She has not yet been halter trained, and she does have a small foggy spot on one eye. She can still see out of it just fine—it is simply a scar from an injury she had as a calf.

Tic Tac is a sweet 3-year-old. She is due with her second calf at the end of September and recently went dry. She was a little nervous and kicky at the beginning of her first lactation, but by the end she was very comfortable with machine milking and mostly comfortable with hand milking. She freshened with only three working quarters. Her back left quarter is very small, never developed properly, and never came into production. Her other three quarters more than make up for it, though. Even as a first-lactation cow, she produced about average for our herd. Tic Tac is bred to our bull Nathan, an A2A2 registered polled Jersey bull.

Annie is a laid-back 4-year-old who knows her job. She has good teat length and is well-behaved for both hand and machine milking. She has been a good producer for us and recently went dry for a calf due at the end of September. She was bred to our A2A2 registered polled Jersey bull, Nathan. Annie is not a pet cow, but she is quite calm, well-behaved, and doesn’t mind being petted here and there. She has not been halter trained, but now that she is dry, it would be easy to get her accustomed to a new setup and comfortable coming in for a treat before she freshens and needs to be milked again.

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.

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.
