Check your local listings in the newspaper or on internet classifieds such as Kijiji or Craigslist. But buyer beware: Make sure you visit the farm and see the animal first-hand before you decide on your purchase. If you cannot look at the cow before purchase, or have to make a down payment before seeing the animal, you are walking into a scam. If you can see the animal, its best to see it in person rather than by photos. Photos show only a 2-D image of the animal and often can be distorted by the angle the picture is taken and exposure. You may not be able to see everything of the animal with just one or a few badly taken photos the seller would give you. When you see the animal yourself, you can see health status, temperament, how well the animal is cared for (or not), structure/conformation and anything else that may influence your buying decisions. You should also get ample opportunity to talk to the owner and ask them questions, such as age, vaccination history, feeding history, etc. Most importantly: Go with your gut on your buying decisions. If you feel yourself second-guessing buying that Jersey cow, then don't buy her, whatever the reasons may be.
