Re: breed of milk cow/goat/sheep

[Guest guest]

I personally have French Alpines.I love the breed.Tried my hands at Nubians and just didn't care for the temperament. Definitely more uptight than the Alpines.I bought my girls from a dairy so they are used to milking.Great butter fat content on my girls. And tasty milk.Vickiwww.afterthoughtfarm.com breed of milk cow/goat/sheep

I am wonering what kind of dairy cow/goat/sheep you

all have and why you chose that particular breed.

Also any pros/cons to your type of milk animal.

I am trying to decide what I want to buy and I feel

the best people to ask are those who have dairy

anumals.

You may e-mail me privately if you wish.

We have Alpines. They also come in a variety of colors, are a medium to

large size, mine give a high percentage of butter fat (3.5 - 6%) You can see

some of them on our web site at:

We have a mix of breeds in both goats and cows. The goats are mainly

Alpine with some LaMancha mixed in here and there. For meat we have a

few Boer but I'd not get them again as the feet are not a fun thing to

deal with in wet weather. We had a few Nubians but the noise was more

than I wanted to put up with. When the Alpines yell I know to run, the

Nubians just scream to hear themselves talk. Our next buck will be a

Fainter, should make life interesting.

Our 2 milk cows are Jersey. We've had Holstein crosses and been

perfectly happy with them. The Holsteins have given more milk with a

lower cream to milk ratio but in the end there was the same amount of

cream per day from the Jersey and the Holstein.

There is an Angus bull in with the girls right now as well as a young

Jersey bull. The meat ladies are a mixed batch from Brahma to Angus

with some dairy here and there. I've heard all about Jersey bulls

being mean. We're on our third one now and have never had a problem.

Some of our bottle steer have chased me across the field when I was

dumb enough to carry a bucket! We did have a white breed (can't

remember the name) for a bull once, it was crazy.

We use nothing but Toggenburgs. I found them to have better milk output for size and be very calm goats. Not the escape issues that we had with other breeds.Jersey cows for cow milk.
