Why use Lessor Jersey Semen? * Works good for first time fresheners-producing a smaller calf with fewer calving complications. * Calves will be polled (NO HORNS), since bull is naturally polled. * Excellent cross with Belmont/Irish Jersey and Dexter cattle. Bull does not carry Chondrodysplasia (bulldog gene). * Will improve udder confirmation and increase milk production in Belmont/Irish Jersey and Dexter cattle. * Bull is an approved Foundation Bull with the Minature Cattle Breed Society. * A breed of cattle with personality - docile temperament and easy to handle. * Crossed with a standard-size Jersey will bring size down approximately 4 inches on first cross. |

Breed Traits For 'Lessor' Jersey |
Thank you for your interest in my Lessor Jerseys, they are still a Rare and Unique breed of cattle. I have had so many people ask me how much they cost. Pricing of a Lessor Jersey would be up to the individual breeder. Keep in mind though that these cattle are very rare and would be priced as such. Increasing your herd is a slow process. It just takes time due to the fact a cow takes nine months to have a calf, and you only get one calf a year. Why have a Lessor Jersey ? These small cattle are more docile and easier to handle. They are easier on land, equipment, and your facilities; they do not have the size or bulk to do much harm on fencing. A small acreage owner can handle twice as many small cows on the same amount of land it would take to raise just one full-sized animal. Lessor Jerseys eat about 1/3 the amount of grain and hay as a standard size cow. You can easily keep two or three on an acre of good pasture. I mix corn, dairy supplement, vitamins, minerals, salt, and wet molasses for my cows' feed. Lessor Jerseys are very hardy animals and adapt to whatever climate they are in, as long as you have shade when it is hot and some type of shelter from wet and cold weather. You must realize. however, ' Lessor' Jerseys are dairy animals, they give milk and must be milked twice a day or have calves to take the milk. I am doing all I can to promote and protect them. Only sincere, dedicated people with the same affection as I have will be able to buy one from me. Anyone who may be in the area is welcome to come by and see my cattle. I am always willing to show my little cows to interested people and can talk about cows all day. If you have any questions, call me at 618 - 483 - 5081 or email me at: timothydavid56@hotmail.com All my Lessor Jersey cattle are registered with the International Miniature Cattle Breeders Society, 2504 156th Ave S.

Please Note! For those looking to purchase Mini Jersey semen. Don't be mislead by some web sites promoting semen from Mature 36 and 38 inch Mini Jersey bulls . This is False! I have yet to see a Mature Mini Jersey bull that size. Also be aware that there are those Breeders promoting mini Jerseys that are not Mini! I get requests every week from those who have been mislead and wanting to know what to do with the animal. |
