congratulations! They look lovely. Jerseys?

We got a heifer last year, and the dairy that sold her to us (our raw milk dairy) lent us a young bull. The agreement was that we would raise him until he was old enough to get her pregnant. He's just finally figuring out what to do when she's in heat! For a while he bolted right out of the paddock every month 😂

They are brown swiss, dexter crosses. (Very odd combination lol and not ai either).

I'm very interested to see the milk production on them since brown swiss are very high producers and Dexters not so much but our ground lays so wet we needed a smaller cow and they should only weigh out to 800-900 pounds.

Sounds great! I look forward to seeing your updates.

Our heifer is Jersey and the bull is a Jersey/dexter mix, so assuming things work out, the calf would be 1/4 Dexter.
