What traits are you looking for in the cows, what price point are you considering, how would you transport the cow?

Check with Compass Rose Homestead in South Mississippi. They have Jersey and Dexter cattle.

Look on Facebook Marketplace. Or check for Facebook Groups for selling and buying cows. We get most of our animals using both.

When we wanted to buy some calves, we asked at the feed store.

We were really happy with the folks they recommended and bought all our calves from those folks until we sold the homestead.
