Age For Breeding Jerseys.

A well known Jersey breeder says
that one mistake many farmers make
is In breeding Jersey heifers too young
A better way is to let them get their
growth. at least three years. Keep
them in a separate lot, if necessary,
after they are eighteen months old
If permitted to bring calves before
they have their growth they make
small cows and yield less milk. The
