Just wondering because you mentioned Heifers.
Back some seven or so years ago I was offered three highland cows for $2000, Mommy, Daddy and Calf. I have kicked myself every since for not taking it but seriously did not have the money. Since they have become "fashionable" the price has gone through the roof.
Oh well, guess I will stick with my Jerseys.
Farmer Dan rents our crop land for feed for his Heifers, and also pastures them with us for the summer-into-fall. They are the Dairy over the ridge from us. Good people.
Beau won’t let me get a milk cow of my own. He says he’s, ‘saving me from myself’ and he is probably right! He grew up around here, farming. His dad was a cattle/dairy cow breeder of some local fame.
