Cows For Sale - November 2013 - SOLD

Better late then never!  Life has sped up here, but I found an opportunity to get this together finally.  These are the 2013 cows that are for sale.  For those of you who are not familiar with our farm, we breed our cows to calve in a two month window.  Any cows that do not get bred in that window are sold.  We are honest about any known problems with the cows.  The most up-to-date list of which cows are still available can be found here.

There are a number of three-quartered cows in the group.  We are asking $725 per cow.  Please e-mail me at amazinggracedairy@gmail.com if you have any questions and at that point we will give out our phone number if needs be.

The pictures will be in numerical order except for the two open cows.  They will be at the bottom of the page.  Both of them are three-quartered cows and if you are interested in either one of those, we can discuss a price.  The amount of $725 is in reference to the pregnant cows. 

Please remember when looking at the milk weights that we are a seasonal grass-based dairy and we operate a low input system.  Our previous buyers from confinement farms have commented that the cows always come up in milk once they begin feeding them silage.  I believe that is everything.  Here we go...

74~Pregnant

We do not actually expect to sell 74 as she is a high Somatic Cell cow, but she is pregnant, so I figured I would offer her.  We do not have any genetic information on her.  I am guessing she is a combination of Holstein, Milking Shorthorn, and Jersey.  She has historically been one of our best milkers.  She is a FOUR-QUARTERED cow, but the front left quarter is the one that is driving her SCC.

414~Pregnant

414 is a Dutch Belt Cross.  Her sire's code is 138DL396.  Her dam was a Holstein/Ayrshire Cross.  She is a FOUR-QUARTERED cow.

 

614~Pregnant~Dry

614 is a FOUR-QUARTERED cow.  Her sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Challenge and her dam was a purebred Jersey.  Her Maternal Grand Sire was Prospector (JE).  She doesn't have the prettiest udder, but she does milk and amazingly enough, her somatic cell only rose this past test (go figure), before that it was at about 300.

721~Pregnant~SOLD!

721 is a THREE-QUARTERED cow.  We bought her, and the farmer who sold her to us did not keep the best of records so we have no genetic information on her.  I believe she is a Milking Shorthorn/Swedish Red Cross.

 

1024~"Bravo"~Pregnant~SOLD!

1024 (Bravo) is a FOUR-QUARTERED cow.  She is out of a Swedish Red herd bull and her dam is a Milking Shorthorn/Holstein Cross.  I really like this cow.  Not that I don't like the other cows, but she has a lot of potential, and I am sad to see her go.

1030~"Daisy"~Pregnant

1030 (Daisy) is a THREE-QUARTERED cow.  She is out of a pregnant cow that we bought, so we don't have much genetic information on her.  Her sire was a Holstein and her dam was a Holstein/Jersey Cross.

 

1132~Pregnant

1132 is a THREE-QUARTERED cow.  She is a purebred Ayrshire.  Her Sire is Finnish Ayrshire Record, and her dam is a New Zealand Ayrshire Mika daughter.  She didn't start out very well this season due to a hard calving.

1156~Pregnant~SOLD!

1156 is a FOUR-QUARTERED cow, but she is very light in the right rear quarter.  Her sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Brody and her dam is out of a herd bull and a Dutch Belt/Normande (180NM4) Cross.

1175~Pregnant

1175 is a THREE-QUARTERED cow.  Her sire was a purebred Ayrshire herd bull who was a Finnish Ayrshire Bigmaker son.  Her dam was a Dutch Belt/Normande (213NM11) Cross.

Open Cows

1019~Apple (polled)~SOLD

1019 (Apple) is a POLLED THREE-QUARTERED cow.  She is open.  She is out of a cow that we bought.  Her sire was a Swedish Red herd bull and her dam was a Milking Shorthorn/ Holstein cross.  She still is milking quite well considering what we are feeding her.

 

1134~SOLD

1134 is a THREE-QUARTERED cow.  Her sire is French Normande Tetrapack.  Her dam is a Dutch Belt/Ayrshire cross.

1176~"Baby Tater"~Open~SOLD

1176 is a FOUR-QUARTERED cow.  My husband affectionately calls her "Baby Tater".  She is the daughter of a cow we had named Tater--that we sold in 2011.  Her sire is New Zealand Ayrshire Nigel.  Her dam is a cross out of NZ AY Edberg and a Ayrshire x Dutch Belt x Holstein Cross.

Thank you for taking a look at our cows.  If you are interested in purchasing any of them, please e-mail us with any questions you may have amazinggracedairy@gmail.com

Blessings to each of you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be all honor and glory, both now and forever.
