By the sound of it your horses just take up space and pasture and are only a money drain(poor investment which caries a steep yearly fee and no interest return).They eat just as much hay as your whole herd of goats.
Same with the jerseys, It don't make sense to keep a couple cows around just to feed a couple lambs because their mommies are useless.(pencil it out,..it does not pay)
My advise if you want to start making a profit,You've got to look at your farm as a business for profit and not as a hobby farm.
Sell the horses and the jersey's(maybe keep one if you want some milk for yourself) and use that money to buy better equipment.
Sell the goats that can or will not raise their young.
Buy a bag of milk replacer if you need to raise the occasional abandoned or orphaned lamb(.22 is cheaper but that is just my opinion)
Cows and goats are not really going well together(Goats are carriers of malignant fever).
Focus on one or the other,...not both.
If you want,buy a horse back when you can afford it.
