If anyone is looking for Jerseys, we just picked up Squidward from them and a few friends have also had very good experiences with their calves!! Located in Bolton, CT

Welcome, Squidward! He’s home with us for a week or so before he hopefully goes to the farm to be raised by our Holstein mama, alongside her few week old heifer calf. He was born this past Saturday and is literally the same height or maybe a hair shorter than 3 month old Cocoa (who is very jealous at the moment that he’s not the center of attention right now🤣) He’s a cutie! He will not be available down the road but if anyone is looking for a nice jersey bull calf shoot me a pm. They had another one that will be available soon at the farm in CT where Squid hails from! They also have a few nice jersey heifer calves available! 😁

Boop! 🥰🥰 Clem is still waiting for a suitable home! *He is a June 2023 jersey steer out of the jersey bull, Casino. Lots more pics and some recent videos available. Pm for price and full details

Well y’all, Cocoa is finally weaned off of a bottle & here’s what I don’t miss about bottle feeding for at least 10 minutes after their bottle is gone…

Update : Sparkler 🧨 is under deposit!! Clem is still available ☺️

I’d ❤️ to spread the jersey lovin’ around a little! These 2 are looking for homes! *I always appreciate your support by sharing with your friends!! 🙏

Both are June 2023 calves

Clem is a jersey steer out of the jersey bull Casino. He can be heady if he’s allowed but someone cow savvy would have no problem with him. He will allow some human affection as long as it involves brisket scratches but it’s at his discretion 😉 He is one of the first ones to the feed rail and can hold his own with the older steers here. He’s pretty uncomplicated and has never had an off day aside from banding and dehorning day😉

Sparkler is a heifer out of the jersey bull, Lemonhead and our registered jersey cow Sandals (pm for pic of her papers and her udder if that’s important to you ). Unaware of whether she’s A2 / A2 or not, sorry. She’s sweet and UTd on vaccines and deworming.

Both are tolerable on a halter but could use fine tuning.

Both are priced competitively for what you’re getting😉
Located in Ashaway RI
PM with inquiries please.
🎞️Tons more pictures available of both from birth to current 📸

This is what you will see if you come to do chores with us… including all the chatter between kids, cows, and me…

Who else besides my dog thinks Cocoa needs a more suitable playmate to harass?? I’m now dubbing them “the old married couple” 🤣 My pup, Mikah gave him a talking to afterwards there but they got over it quick😉

Who’s still here? Show of hands! (Or click like😉) Algorithms really are discouraging and I will be listing some animals soon so I’m wondering how many people will ACTUALLY see my posts when I do 🙃

The world (and farming community especially) needs more cow sanctuaries like this! Go to their page and find the article about them that was on the cover of Lancaster Farming! I promise, it’s worth the read to learn about their fabulous mindset and mission! 🙌

There’s something so fascinating about observing a mama cow, especially in that first day after she calves, being a mom. She hasn’t read “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” and she only has guidance in her language if there’s another older, more experienced cow in her herd. She just knows. It’s mesmerizing. The argument that we’ve bred mothering instincts out of dairy cows is not a hard fast rule. It’s no different than humans in that regard. That’s why there’s systems in place to monitor and support new moms and to keep newborns as safe as possible. For humans, it’s Doctors, nurses, family and social services. For cows, it’s farmers.

One of our 2 remaining milk cows calved out
this perfect little Angus/Holstein X heifer today and it has so far been such a (thankfully) rewarding experience, observing that bond transition from womb to world so effortlessly. This is our Holstein, Lolli’s, 3rd calf but the 1st time that she will be able to raise her calf with minimal human intervention aside from necessary newborn vaccines. We have been observing the pair closely all day to be sure that the calf is nursing on its own to get her colostrum & to be sure Lolli seems to be conscious of the delicacy of her calf (i.e. not stepping on her etc) but she’s checking all the boxes of those essential mothering instincts so far. 😅

Of course, the best part is that Lolli is a chill 😎 enough cow to allow us to work around her and start handling the calf. It would be sheer torture not being able to cuddle allll that adorable - ness! 🥰🥰🥰
