[QUOTE="OBAX, post: 1709336, member: 24445"] If the dairymen sell those beef crossed calves, mostly angus, some charolais, when they are still calves they get more money. If they wait too long and they start maturing, the buyers can spot the dairy in them easily and they take a big hit. That’s the story locally anyway. It’s just playing the game and passing the loss on to the next guy. Some of those dairy cross heifers can make good momma cows, but have to watch got the ones that give too much milk, and cull them off. Cross Holstein with Brahman and in my experience you get cows you cannot control. [/QUOTE]
