The other benefit of a Jersey is that they have one of the highest solids per litre of milk of any cow. If you sold milk here in New Zealand you’d get paid by solid per litre of milk so would work in your favour with Jerseys.
My first job out of school was farmhand and we had mostly Jerseys. They are also one of the friendliest cows you can get.
Great purchase.
That's amazing! I bet being a farmhand came with many stories.
Some, but mostly as a result of being a townie working the land. Actually, from what I can see, somewhat similar to your situation, except I didn't own anything.
Moving day was pretty cool. Once we had to move cows from one farm to another. A distance of about 5 kilometres. I got to ride the bike all that time. As a result I first rode motorcycles on the farm which led me to my life long dream of becoming a motorcyclist.
I feel this would be a great story to tell actually. I'll write it up and link here for you to read. It might even give you some tips... like how you SHOULDN'T plant Agapanthas. 🤣
Here's my story about my farming life. It's a pretty long story and I probably should have split it but it covers most of what I had to do with a couple of stories thrown in for good measure.
Your life has just gotten busier my dear... although maybe not that much busier. 😂
