Lily is our percentage mini-jersey heifer. She was sired by Munifordia’s Gamboge, an Old World Jersey bull and her dam is our herd queen, Heart – who is registered with the AJCA.
She was the first calf we had born here on our farm. She is 30 months old now and due with her first calf in about 6 weeks. Her calving is really bringing the cycle full circle for us.
As you can see, she is a nice small heifer. Matt is 6 feet tall, so you can get some perspective on her size. I have estimated her height at 37/38″.
Watching her udder develop over the last month has really gotten us excited for her calving and eventual milking. All that delicious raw milk that I will have for butter, cheese, and fattening hogs…YUMM!
It looks like she is going to have a wonderful udder, just like her momma.
