I've had Jerseys for six years and I love them. Here is a quick look at the Jersey cows on our farm. Be sure to check out the blog post for way more details about these great bovines:roughandtumble...
Omg I LOVE Jersey cows they are literally so sweet! They are like giant kittens! I’ve been in love with cows since I was 4 years old but never lived on a farm. If I could get a cow I’d get a Jersey!!!!
Love cows too☺️ I grew up in the in a village now living in Ireland but I go back to my country very often. I’m thinking of buying one cow at the start so maybe a jersey or Swiss cow would be my preference 😍 🐄
Grew up on a farm in Arkansas and showed Jerseys when I was young, beautiful animals and they are so gentle to be around, they really do love on you if you show them some love as well
Wife and I just bought our first jersey, she will turn two in July but she's been running with a bull for at least six months so I was told. She is a mix I'm sure she has classic jersey marking around her face and nose and she is smaller framed. But even though she's sweet she hasn't been handled at all so have to work with her there. Beautiful animals you have there.
Thank you! Yeah every time our AI guy comes out he comments on how fat and all-around giant Juneberry is. Her heifer from last year I need to do some work gentling her down. She got a nasty infection of flies in her dehorning spot last summer and me treating it pretty much ruined any trust she had in me.
We live in Jersey Village just on the outskirts of northwest Houston, Texas - the F&M Jersey Ranch was here by the Henry family from 1938-1948 before being developed to a suburban oasis with large lots for ranch style homes since 1955. We bought our 1972 home originally owned by the son of the Ranch’s owner, & I’ve become obsessed with Jersey cuties! 🥛💜💛💜🥛
They are both standard size. We haven't had milk fever issues YET. I say YET in hopes that I don't jinx myself. I do keep some tubes of Cal-gel and CMPK gel on hand in case we have issues. This year our hay is pretty rich so I'm a little more nervous than usual about it.
@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse Thanks for the quick response. I plan on getting a small place in the country and looking at getting 1 or 2 family cows. Thanks.
Great video. I am from Bangladesh. I will be starting a farm 2 months later and starting with 6 Jerseys. We have Holstein here but i like jersey because i feel like they are cute and got decent milk according to size.
Do you keep her inside in winter with the goats ? I got my firdt jersaise cow abd i will hace to put her in soon but im not sure if i can put her with the sheep abd goat . In scare she step on them of shit all other them. My sheep aren't the brithess one 🤣
They are altogether and it is fine. In the winter I do have an area the goats can get to that the cows can’t if they want space away/ I want to give different feed or mineral. I do keep mamas and babies separate from the cows until the babies are at least a month old.
Trying to do research on milk cows, planning on getting probably just one for my own consumption. Trying to figure out which breed gives the most cream and milkfat as we like home made butter a lot and of course the milk. Been looking at Jersey and Guernsey I think is what the breed name is. Which, in your opinion , would give the most cream. And milkfat ? Any info on this new venture would be extremely helpful.
Jerseys typically give the highest milk fat content of any other breed. That would mean the most cream, too. The amount of cream you get will vary based on their diet and if you milk share with the calf or not.
@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse True, I've been doing a LOT of research on dairy breeds and have narrowed it down to Jersey or Guernsey. Guernsey gives the added bonus of the beta caratene that you don't get with the Jersey, but, a Guernsey is seriously hard to find.
@@andrewjohnson7161 how about Swiss cow? I’m thinking of buying one cow for my own dairy consumption or possibly selling the dairy products in my country as there is high deman even if you own one good milking cow
We are having a very hard time weaning our 10 month old calf off our jersey mom. She just keeps producing. We are doing the 1day 2 day and now on 2.5 days for the ladt 3 days...just 1 feeding. She is still huge!! I do not want her to get mastitis so is there anythg I can do. They are separated. She is on just grass pasture. What do we do? Thk u
I should clarify that is in terms of hay. Grain I don’t feed more than a couple pounds as a treat when milking. They stay fat and healthy on good hay/grass and mineral.
@@RoughandTumbleFarmhouse thanks for replaying so fast. Yes i feed dryed wheed( hawer. My engels is nie so goed nie) and i have some green feed that i cut when i am feeding. My calf is walking with the cow. This afternoon i milked 5Liters( dont know how much in gallons ) the most for one milking. Thanks enjoy
@@elizabethcabrera5718 I’m looking for one too for myself as I’m single just yet haha living in Ireland but my homeland is Georgia 🇬🇪 so yeah one cow be enough for me on council land
Thats....no how dairy milking works. You can milk a cow for years. The average lifespan in industrial dairy farms is 5 years, they are slaughtered when their average milk production begins to taper off and are then slaughtered for meat and to make components in medicine and technology like your phone
