These are nice looking boys. What would a full-grown miniature weigh in at compared to the standard jersey?
Thanks
The standards weigh 1200 – 1800 pounds and usually exceed 48 inches in height (measured from the hip bone). The Miniatures are 42 inches or less at the hip. Mid-miniatures are 42-46 inches from the hip. The miniatures typically do not exceed 1200 pounds an often weigh less than that.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Hey Tammy,
So glad to see you at wordpress so I can leave a message! That Breyer Boy is HUGE! Peanut is really a handsome looking bull. I’ll be so glad to link others to your sites and in fact will post on it today.
Are you planning on breeding Sadi? Don’t tell Bob, but boy would I love to have a small livestock dog! shhhhh.
Diane
Hi Diane! It’s great to hear from you. I really like WordPress but I am just so unfamiliar with it right now! I have a lot of work to do to get the site to where I want it, but I have to start somewhere!
Yes, Breyer is short (42″) but very stocky! Hopefully Butter is already bred (will have to test her to make sure) and Peanut will be the sire of her baby! I think Butter and Peanut will have an absolutely perfect calf for you!
Yes, I will be breeding Sadie. It won’t be for a while, so you will have time to “plan” and talk your husband into it!
She just turned a year old and I have bought a male that was just born October 25th. It will probably be another year before Sadie gets bred and has pups. Sadie and the new pup come from excellent blood lines.
Thanks for stopping by the site! Talk to you again soon!
Tammy
LOL!!! I guess then my calf should be called…. Drum roll please…..Peanut Butter!!!!!!!!!!
What a hoot! Take your time on confirming…we haven’t gotten the shed up…but hopefully will get it ordered this weekend. Bob’s going to get the specifics and I’m going to try and make a deal. What’s the best type of hay? Is Orchard and Timothy Hay good? I can get that for a good price locally, but I don’t know what to buy.
Looking forward to seeing Sadie’s pups next yr!
Diane
As far as hay is concerned, the Orchard/Timothy is ok, but is better for a dry cow. The alfalfa or alfalfa mix hay will have more protein which is important especially if you want to keep grain at a minimum. The alfalfa will also give you more cream!
It’s hard for me to leave a message on the other blog.. but I wanted to say “CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!” Many wonderful years to go!
Diane
Thank you, Diane! God has blessed me so much!

May I ask how old Peanut is? He seems to have such a beautiful coat and that very nice, straight back. Did he start out with a fluffier coat? I am working with three Jersey Bulls. They are 4 months old and very fluffy. They love to be brushed and groomed. I do not know if this is how their coats will be or if it is just their young age or because they are going into winter here in CT. I wonder if they will get nice and sleek looking like Peanut? Thanks for your response in advance.
ys, Chuck
Hi Chuck,
Peanut is 18 months old now. He does get more of a wooly coat in the winter and gets darker in color. In the summer is coat is slick and lighter. That is typical of all of my Jerseys. They grow winter hair to help keep them warm. It sounds like you take great care of your bull calves. With good nutrition and care your bulls will be sleek looking in the summer too! May I ask what your plans are for your bulls?
