"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

~Hebrews 12: 1-2

November 2012 Cows for Sale - SOLD (for the most part)

Here are the 39 cows that we have left to sell.  We have the most up-to-date DHI information (we tested this morning 11/16/2012).  There are two cows that I have pictured that will go for beef, because when the vet checked them he said they had heavy scarring due to difficult calvings and they would most likely not breed back.  I put their pictures up here anyway, so they too could have their 15 seconds of fame, but their numbers are 717 and 1040.  And if you please....ENJOY!!

We are asking $850 an animal.  We will not sell cows to those who have no experience milking and caring for cattle.  For the most up to date list of what cows are currently available please check here.






1
1 is a first lactation heifer.  She was born on 2/8/2010.  Her sire is a Finnish Ayrshire Piuha and her maternal grand sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Blaze.  She milks out of all four quarters.

5 ~ Pregnant ~ SOLD
5 is a first lactation heifer born on 2/13/2010.  Her sire is a New Zealand Ayrshire Phillip and her maternal grand sire is Finnish Ayrshire Passeli.  She milks out of all four quarters.  She is pregnant and due 7/28/2013.
 
 7 ~ Pregnant ~ SOLD
7 is a first lactation heifer born on 2/15/2010.  Her sire is the New Zealand Ayrshire Edberg and her maternal grand sire is a Normande 214NM16.  I only have his NAAB code and not his name.  She milks out of all four quarters.  She is pregnant and due 7/5/2013.

12 ~ Pregnant ~ SOLD
12 is a first lactation heifer born on 2/17/2010.  Her sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Nigel and her maternal grand sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Challenge.  She milks out of all four quarters.  She is pregnant and due 7/28/2013.


16 ~ Pregnant
16 is a first lactation heifer born on 2/22/2010.  Her sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Brody and her maternal grand sire is Normande 180NM4.  She milks out of all four quarters.  She has a swollen fetlock joint on her front right leg and she walks with a limp.  The vet has looked at it and it is not foot rot.  We believe she sprained it and that is how it healed.  She milks reasonably well, but we do not expect her limp to go away as she has had it for several months.  It is not getting any worse, however.  She is pregnant and due 6/28/2013.

530 ~ Pregnant ~ SOLD
We do not have any genetic or identity information on 530 as she is an animal we purchased three years ago.  I suspect she is a Jersey/Milking Shorthorn cross and we believe she is on her 5th lactation, but we do not know for certain.  She milks out of all four quarters.  She is pregnant and due 7/28/2013.

717 ~ Open ~ SOLD (for beef)
717 is a fourth lactation cow born on 3/26/2007.  She is a Jersey x Milking Shorthorn? I believe.  I am certain about the Jersey part.  She is a THREE quartered cow.  She will be sold for beef due to extensive scarring in her reproductive tract due to a difficult calving, but I thought she deserved to have her picture up with all of the other cows for sale.
