Any of you fellas in the dairy business or have leads on such? I’m looking to buy a few nursing cows to help supplement milk to some wagyu calves I have on the ground and dropping. I’ve been striking out in North FL/South AL. I don’t mind traveling for the right animals as long as their bags/condition is good. Would also entertain the right Holstein with live milk. Thank you gentlemen

Just curious......Do the Jersey cows produce better milk for the wagyu calves or is this just for giving them some "extra"??

They do sure do buddy. Higher butterfat content and they produce a lot more milk in general. Wagyu cows are notorious for being bad mommas with low milk production.

Never understood the “Waygu” trend. It takes around 30 plus months old to get that nice marble finish on them I think. Or that’s what I read/been told. You can about feed any calf out till it’s 30 plus months old and get a great finish on it. Just my opinion

Now to your question, FB farm auction usually has some pretty regular. Or call up your local stockyard and let them know what your looking for.

Kinda want to cross some out on these angus I have but, dang it cost so much

Yeah I’m sure people pay $100/ounce for no reason

I’ve never had any, so I can’t comment other than being sarcastic

Promised land dairy is the best milk I've ever had.

There’s a jersey dairy on Lookout Mtn close to Ft Payne . Might check with them they may have a lower producer that would be perfect for what you want . May not meet their standards for milk production at the dairy . Sure you can google their name .

Alot of stuff costs a lot more money because of advertising. I’ve tried it and it was good, but didn’t seem to be any better than the beef I’ve raised my whole life. Angus, charolais, and about any other beef breed is great meat when fed out right to me. Matter of fact the best I ever raised was a Jersey/limousine cross steer calf that was 1536lbs when he was earholed. I ear holed him when he was eating feed, knocked the guts out of him on the farm. Took FEL and hauled him to the Processer in Tallapoosa, Ga. Stress plays a big part of meat quality imo. Just like it does on anything else in farming.

Not to derail the OP post. All I’m gonna say about it lol

We got milk cows here in east central AL. Most are three way cross Holstein Jersey and Norwegian red. I really ain’t looking to sell any right now though and I’ve already had folks asking. I could get you numbers for a few other fellas in the dairy business

You might try to reach out to Blue Ribbon Dairy - Eclectic, AL.

I don't know if they sell their cows or not (I kinda doubt it, but worth a shot), but they have the best dairy products that I have ever tasted.

is this about aoc?

I could get ya a deal but Oregon’s a long haul.
The jerseys eat really well, just a different colored fat.

I agree with you for the most part. I sell/eat just as much upper 2/3 choice angus as anything else. I hauled to Dothan last weekend and didn’t really see anything I wanted there, I ended up finding a couple in FL they sold off the production line.

I sell more F2 wagyu/angus than anything. I like their steaks better than full blood

I sure appreciate y’all’s input fellas! I ended up finding me a few today, haven’t had a chance to check in much since yesterday

Sent you a pm
