Does anyone know roughly how much meat we would get off a well covered, 27 month old, Jersey heifer. We can't get Jennifer in calf  . I phoned the market today and auctioneer said we would get about £200 for her so we were wondering if we were better off mincing her and  putting her  in the freezer (gulp!!). Dont mind eating my own animals but struggle with ones expected to be kept for breeding from  .

I took a jersey cult calf 14 months got 150kg back an sold it at £110 for 11kg of a mixture of cuts so made more than £200 after butchers cost in would say you would get atleast 200-250kg?

The meat of mine was really good not very fatty

Jersey meat is supposed to be superb.

Hope it's worth it once I've plucked up the courage to take her

Jersey meat is fantastic. We reared 2 Jersey bull calves in 2013 and the taste was out of this world. We are rearing Jersey x angus at the moment
