New Jersey Milk heifer and calf!

[neener92]

What do you cattle people think of her? She is said to be a two year old heifer with a two weeks old calf on her, I'm thinking the calf's daddy was Angus but the lady didn't know. She has a wonderful personality and is already is comfortable with me milking her.
She was born on a dairy farm and raised by a family as a pet, then the very nice people I got her from said they got her hastily and didn't realize she would be so much work and they didn't have enough space for her. Plus, the lady had gotten a new job and didn't have time to milk the heifer. So, whatcha all think!?

ETA: we plan on breeding her to a Jersey bull or artificially breeding her after I decide when I want milk.

Her name is Cherry Pie, baby doesn't have a name.
This pic was at her third home where there six year old daughter could sit and milk the cow! That darn near sold her when I saw this pic!

I let her in one of our hay fields away from our other cattle for now and boy was she happy!

Here's the baby, cute n' all!

Congratulations! You don't get much cuter than a baby calf in my opinion. Your heifer is really dark compared to what I am used to seeing. Very pretty!

She's gorgeous and the calf is adorable! When we get our little acreage, I'd like to have a milk cow and breed her to a beef cow...should keep her in milk and we can butcher the calf at the end of the season for the meat.

She is beautiful and so is the calf! It will be interesting to see if she stays that dark year-round. Where I work we have a lot of Jerseys and most are in their darkest color phase now. It's strange to see a cow go out to dry pasture almost a cream color and come in a couple of months later with an almost black face! And how nice to get a heifer that young that doesn't kick! Good deal.

If the sire was Angus, I would think red angus. Black is almost always dominant color on calves if the bull is black angus, but not always solid black on a cross like this.
Momma has a nice straight line on the back and good length as well. The calf, should gain quickly and be pretty thick and heavy at weaning.
I can't really see well--is the calf male or female?

He is a very adorable calf for sure!

Mick, we have a registered angus bull but I'd kinda like to try to get another jersey heifer, and I figured the cheapest way would be to have her bred.

Cricket, she "kicked" the bucket this morning when I was milking, I had a good bit in there too! The most I ever got...ugh! I'm thinking the flies started bugging her. Then again this evening she kicked at her stomach, I'm thinking the flies started again cause all our weaned calves came running and brought their flies. Who knows. We are getting a milker soon soon, I'm pretty happy about that, we need a little more milk then what I can hand milk.

He's pretty dark, we are thinking the sire was black angus, he just has that look to him, and I've notice even pure black angus calves to through a stage where they are brown looking....plus, his mother is jersey so there's a chance for a little more color there. Oh, the calf is a bull.

I am NOT aware of any resulting offspring of breeding a cow to another cow... Are you planning a GMO experiment ?

Nah...we'd get a bull beef cow
