What else can I help you with?
How many calves could you expect your jersey nurse cow to raise If you just treated her like a beef cow and let her out to pasture with the calves and how many gallons of milk would she produce?
A jersey cow produces quite a lot of milk, much more than a beef cow does. Beef cows only produce around 10 to 20 lbs of milk per day, whereas a Jersey is capable of producing 40 to 50 lbs of milk per day. With double the milk production, she can nurse 3 to 4 calves at a time, probably even more if her lactation is kept up enough that four calves will suckle on her all at once, then another group of calves nose in to take the rest. Of course this also depends on the quality of the pasture. If the pasture is producing lush, thick grass, then she will have no problem producing enough milk for a half a dozen calves. However, if pasture is sparse, she may only have enough to nurse a couple.
Does a holstein cow have to be milked?

Can a cow feed 3 calves?
Only if she's a dairy cow, like a Holstein or Jersey or some sort of dairy cross, like Holsetin-Jersey cross or Swiss-Jersey or Swiss-Holstein cross. Those type of cows can nurse up to four calves at once, with one calf on each tit. A beef cow or beef-dairy cross cow will not be able to feed three calves at once, only one; dairy-beef cross cows may be able to get away with feeding two at the most; occasionally three if she's a high-producing cow for a beef-dairy cross.
