Lucy is 2 weeks fresh with her 5th calf. Second generation grassfed, unmedicated, holistically managed. Impervious to dairy diseases, she's never been ketotic or had milk fever with good management. She halters, leads, loads, and ties like a horse. I catch her in whatever rotational paddock I am in, tie her, and milk her wherever is handy, she isn't a cow that's been run into a shute to be milked. Excellent grass to milk conversion, she produces 5 gallons/day on grass and keeps excellent body condition. All the perks of being angus (ease of calving, winter hardy, etc) but with exceptionally high milk production. Calves have been kept seperate every year, no calf sharing bunt fests, so her bag is in good shape, 4 milking quarters. Nice big hand milking handles, high flow, no restriction, she is very easy to milk and stands perfectly still. She can't let her milk down without a calf to stimulate her, to get her going, hence the heifer going with her. She can be milked without the calf but she will slow down to about 2 gallons, and drop off slowly, if you want high production, she needs a calf to keep her letting down. I let a calf suck for a few minutes and then milk our share with calf tied in front of her.
Heifer is halter broke, getting 6L twice a day, she is a big girl. Excellent cross, 3rd generation grassfed, unmedicated, holistic management. AI'd sire Denzel, Very hardy cross that will have high cream and production.
This cows mother lived to 13, had a calf every year, and very high production, Lucy has a lot of years left with good management. Only reason for selling is I have 2 replacements, 1 of which calved this year, I only have 24 acres and I can't keep them all. This is an opportunity that you don't see often so take advantage!
