Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Posted January 13, 2005 Sorry, I should have put her site up here for you. Its, www.miniaturejerserys.com. K.C. Re: Sheep's Milk Hi KC, Margie is gorgeous. She really looks in good form too. I'll see if I can find Fonnie Thoman. She's on Google? I have to follow up on this one. Thanks again. Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: Tinybabe You're right. That's why I have a cow share program. It allows me the milk I want to drink (not much) make cheese and provide those that want it, raw milk. This help with paying for feed, grain and supplements. However, if I overcharged like they do in other areas, I would make a lot more money (LOL). I got mine from Fonnie Thoman in Ohio. She has the largest herd and from what I've researched, the only herd that has been DNA tested to be pure Jersey. I love my Margie. She's the sweetest girl. Of course, I'm sure people with other Jerseys think the same of theirs. It's their nature. Mine is just in a smaller package. Margie went over the 42" height standard for most miniature breeds and is 43.5. But, it's still real workable and I wouldn't trade her for the world. I had more, but was forced to sell due to financial problems. Here's a pic with Margie in front and my Big Shorthorn in back. Margie's son is sneaking a drink.....obviously.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Got it! I went in IMMEDIATELY! LOL I've already e-mailed her about prices. Your Margie is fantastic. I'm jealous. haha Bev Sorry, I should have put her site up here for you. Its, www.miniaturejerserys.com. K.C. Quote
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 I know they are not cheap, but, considering how long they live and the wonderful milk you get, it's well worth it. My Margie is due in June. I forget where you are located, but it might be worth the transport if Fonnie doesn't have anything right now. I know she has a waiting list. Also, her property backs the Ohio River and it's damn near at her back door and I heard it's supposed to peak today so don't be surprised if you don't hear from her right away. Margie was bred to a Lowline this time, but the way I look at it, if she has a heifer, it should still be excellent for milking. K.C. Re: Sheep's Milk Got it! I went in IMMEDIATELY!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 I'm in PA. Where are you? She wants $2000 and up for a heifer. How long DO they live anyway? Beverly Re: Sheep's Milk Got it!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 They can live 20 years with good care. I would think their productive years go well into their teens. I'm across the country in Idaho, but I can tell you that a mixed breed calf out of Margie would be less and Ron Keener transports animals from end of the country to the other for probably the most reasonable prices. He takes excellent care of all those he transports. K.C. Re: Sheep's Milk Got it! I went in IMMEDIATELY! LOL I've already e-mailed her about prices. Your Margie is fantastic.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Posted January 15, 2005 I'm not a purist. Mixed breed doesn't bother me. What did you breed her to, and how much where you asking for a heifer?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 I just want to encourage everyone on here to start with the sheep's milk, as it would make it easier for me to have it again. So good, so delicious.... in NYC ;> __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo! Netrospective: 100 Moments of the Web http://birthday.yahoo.com/netrospective/ Quote
