Feldman Family Penelope Is For Sale

By


Sold

 Full-blooded Jersey heifer:

Feldman Family Penelope

"Penny"

Born:  December 29th, 2014

Sire:  Copper

Dam:  OA Feldman Family Buttercup

AJCA Registration Pending (OA)

Dehorned.




Buttercup gave birth to Penny on December 29th.  She had a very easy delivery, and is a very good milker.  I was planning to keep Penny, but we simply don't have enough grass for two milkers, a meat cow, goats, and horses.


Buttercup is the daughter of Blossom, our family milker.  Both Blossom and Buttercup are very good tempered, and Penny already is displaying the same calm, gentle temperament.



Buttercup and Blossom are good milkers, producing several gallons per day at their peak, on grass and alfalfa.  We do not feed any grain, and avoid chemical wormers whenever possible.  We provide free-choice minerals and use herbal wormers when necessary.  We have never needed to use antibiotics.

Find more information about Blossom and Buttercup on "Our Family Farm Animals" page.

This is Buttercup as a yearling.  She is polled ( naturally hornless).
(Registered name:  OA Feldman Family Buttercup)

Buttercup (3/10/15)





OA Feldman Family Blossom
Blossom has many good points, but one of her best is her extremely strong udder, and wonderful mothering instinct.  She is an amazing mother, and will accept any calf that wants to nurse.  Her udder is a little on the tough side for hand milking, but has held up well and is still perfectly even and in good condition, despite the beating she has taken from strong, hungry calves.



Blossom makes a good lesson cow.  You can see in this video how easy she is to milk.  Buttercup is even better:  her udder is softer than Blossom's, while still strong; she doesn't complain (moo constantly) while we are milking, and she comes to her name when I call her.  (Even when I let her out into the yard to mow it, and she disappears into the woods!)


OA Feldman Family Bluebell

This is Bluebell, Buttercup's full sister.  She placed 5th in the Georgia State Show!


Penny's udder.


Penny is healthy, and frisky!  She will be held with a deposit until late July or early August, when she can be weaned and picked up.  She will come with her registration certificate, be tattooed, and come with a health certificate from our vet.


Penny has been sold, and will go to her new home later this year.

Asking $1500

Hi there! I love it when you leave comments on my posts, but they will be moderated since this is a public blog and I do not know who will be reading it. I request that only decent, ordinary English be used in comments, as I do not really understand other languages, and do not wish to read slang or strong language.

Feel free to ask questions, and I will answer them to the best of my ability, and post the questions and answers on here to be a help to others.

Thank you! I am looking forward to hearing from my readers!

Marvelous Seeds- Natural Dewormer for Dogs and Others

By
Naturally de-worming animals can be challenging, and some people will say that you are just better off going with the chemicals.  There are several problems with chemical wormers however.  You see, a chemical wormer is actually a poison, which is fed to the animal in large enough doses to kill, or expel the worms, but in small enough amounts that it hopefully will not injure the animal.  Trouble is, worms have an ability to build up resistance to the chemical poisons used in these wormers.  For example:  A few years ago, when I first started with dairy goats, I had major trouble with worms.  In fact, I lost quite a few goats to them.  I tried using the chemical wormers- SafeGuard (at 4 times the dosage for horses, for 3 days straight), and Ivermectin.  The goats' hair remained curly (a sign of a heavy worm load), and their gums and eyelids were pale.  Finally, most of them died- including three beautiful purebred, registrable Nubians.  I...

Puppies For Sale!

By
Looking for a good family dog?  Need one who will be friendly with your animals?  We are offering Inez's puppies for sale/adoption to good homes.  As stated in other places on this blog, the sire is a beautiful, purebred Chocolate lab who lives near us.      Inez is a full-blooded Great Pyrenees.  We used to lose chickens to the many predators which live all around us (foxes, raccoons, opossums, hawks, and coyotes, etc.)  But since we got her, we have lost hardly any poultry at all.  In fact, we no longer even need to shut or lock the coop door at night.  (Note:  We do not guarantee that the puppies will be as good at protecting as she is- simply that they come from a dog who is excellent at it.)  She is also super sweet to people and our farm animals.  She is gentle, and enjoys being petted, and although she is slightly reserved with strangers, she has never been at all aggressive.  Little children l...
