My 88 year old father has just lost his Jersey cow which grazed the paddock in front of his house with a couple of nurse calves. It gave hm a reason to get out of the house and harkens back to when he was milking.
Accordngly I am lookng for a replacement, I have in mind a good temerament youngish cow that hasn't made the grade in the dairy but would do a job rearing calves.
Reasonable proximety to North Somerset would be an advantage.
 
Hi there,
Not really very handy for North Somerset, but we have a young Jersey cow springing to calve that would do your job. She's coming with her second calf, which is either a Jersey or an Angus. Due in about a fortnight and not yet
T.b.'d, so couldn't move before calving, but I'd keep her calf if it is a Jersey anyway. Nice and quiet, and not for sale due to any fault of her own. You could well be offered something closer, but p.m me if you are interested in her.
Bt.

215 is yours @topground if i can get boss to agree

3rd lactation

more of a grazer than a 3x a dayer , got two jer bull calves here too ;)
Thanks, when did she calve and any chance of a photo? I have a couple of blue calves lined up so will pass on the jersey bulls!
Presumably you have the vet in regularly so testing won't be an issue?
If the boss says yes pm me his price.

Cheers
