100% Jersey in Milk with Calf

I have a sweet two year old Jersey currently in milk with her bull calf for sale in southwestern NC!

Meet Lilibet and Joseph:
Lilibet is 100% Jersey, approximately 2 years old, and very healthy. She gave birth to her first calf, Joseph, on 01/18/25. She is currently in milk, and has been trained to be hand milked freestanding without a stanchion. She stands calm and quietly for milking, and is very easy over all. She is giving 1/2-3/4 gallon per day since we are calf sharing. She could easily give more if she and Joseph were separated overnight. Her milk is delicious with a good cream level! All four teats work just as they should. She has a wonderful temperament: calm, friendly, curious, and patient. She is good with people and likes to be rubbed, scratched, and petted. She has had no health complications in her history. She will make a wonderful family milk cow!

Joseph is a 50% Jersey, 25% Holstein, and 25% Black Angus bull calf. He is very handsome, healthy, and sweet. He is shy, but curious about people and is super bonded to his mom. He would make a great steer or breeding bull.

We are asking $3,000 for them as a bonded pair.

Please reach out if you have any questions about Lilibet and Joseph!

Lovely beasts, indeed.  Where is your farm, if we could manage to purchase?

Hi Rico, thanks so much for your comment! Our farm is on the NC/TN state line, very near to Ducktown, TN. If you are seriously interested in Lilibet and Joseph I would be happy to share our exact address with you privately. Would you like to be in touch via email?

I know ducktown, on the TN side mostly,  I will purple moose sometime today,thank you.  Don't tell my wife! Will need to clean the house, take her out to a good restaurant,  then lead with a nonchalant " by the way....."

With a heavy heart I write today, lamenting our decision to remain bovine-free for another year at least. A tsunami of unforeseeable events in the past three months has our family in a quandary, hitting our once-stable income and tripling our insurance costs. But time heals all, with faith and humor on our side.  

So please everybody, let us all help find a quiet rural home for this beautiful mother -son team!  Molly is making a fair, honest offer that I thought our family could honor.  Most likely a home in the South would be optimum. I wish they were coming to our farmstead.  

But one never knows.... if the irrepressible  Thomas Rubino needs fresh, fresh cream in his morning coffee, then Lilibet and Jo could be on their way to Montana!,,,!!!  

One more plug for Lilibet,  great mom,  and her calf,  what a pair!  Lilibet and Josef..... photogenic, too. I felt it might make riveting TV, perhaps a reality show with two characters, three if you count Lilibets milk.   Camera follows them through the pasture. ...... Have you ever  tried milk from the cow?  Fresh from the udder, lightly cooled, milk is nothing less than ambrosia from Mount Olympus.  

I have a little milking experience,  both mechanical and traditional,  and by hand is the best.  A ritual morning and twilight, singular in nature, the herd often ambles  back at dusk with no coaxing, magical in a sense you might compare it to bees flying back to their hive, creating honey. Big bees.  

Applause to you, Molly
Your farm looks glorious.  Best of luck.
