I'd be more concerned about the cleaning part of it rather than the length of time between calves. You're less likely to spread disease if you clean out and disinfect the area than waiting for a particular time to lapse before putting in a new calf.

License to sale bull calves?

It's not necessary. Bull calves are not pets, certainly not like purebred dog or cat breeders. Cattle are not pets, therefore you do not need to have a license to sell bull calves or any cattle. Just make sure they're healthy, free of disease and in good condition to be able to encourage buyers to actually consider purchasing your animals.


How do you get foster cows to let jersey calves milking off them?

I have a 4 year old Guernsey Cow, over the course of this year she has raised 7 calves for me, 3 calves for 3 months, 2 calves for 4 months and 2 calves for 3 months, and now she's dry, two months before she calves in march. after putting your cow's head in a stanchion, and giving her something to munch on. you put her calf on a front quarter, with it's behind toward the cow so if she turns to sniff it, it's hers she smells, then take time don't get excited, and slowly bring in one of the calves you want to feed on the cow, after it's eating, you go get the other calf and bring it in and put it on the back quarter of the other side, and have someone stand between the cow's head and the calf. the calves should eat good for about 8 minutes, and the cow should be milked the rest of the way out to prevent mastitis. if you've got a good cow she should accept them with little Resistance.
