Freisan cow & calf

    Hi

    I have a Freisan cow with her AA calf at foot. She calved late so I didnt bother to put her back in calf.

    I will be selling her at the mart soon. Her calf is a few months old and is on silage and meal

    My query is whether I should sell the cow with her calf at foot or should I wean the calf and sell them seperately. Whats the best way to sell them?

    Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Is she a suckler or is she suitable for dairying if the calf is sucking her i would sell them together if not i would sell them separably, what age is she has she a lot of milk

    She is a dairy cow, about 5 or 6 and has plenty of milk. I would hold onto her except she calved around September and i dont milk through the winter.
