LOL. I know some guys that keep some jersey crosses around here. They're not a bad little cow except for the dirty nature... but I don't think they're gaining a lot with them either. I also know another guy who I suspect is keeping a 4.5 fat average with holsteins. I've bought some cows from him at different times and those cows are holding 4.5% plus on their first test here... and then they slack of a bit... so I'm inclined to think that whatever he's feeding... he's got it figuered out anyhow. I know he's pretty particular about getting the correct amount of fiber in the diet. It pays tho. No jersey is going to hold 100 # milk at 4.5% and last any length of time. At the end of the year... that's a LOT of fat. It covers the upkeep on the bigger cow.
