Thanks everyone for the replies. There is just two of us, so all I would ever want would be around a gallon of milk a day, give or take. I think a Hereford cow is a pretty thing, also like the red simmentals. Kinda thinking about getting cows from 4h or ffa kids that show. Some don't want...

Some honest discussion, and please don't tell me to get a Jersey :roll: From those that raise Hereford? If I got a tame bred heifer, do you think she could be taught to become a family milk cow? I know they won't give gallons and gallons of milk and in advance, and I Don't want a goat. I...

Jeanne and MO_COWS, thanks for replies. This is the type of information that I"m looking for. Simmentals would be easy because of my neighbors herd. He could take care of breeding, ect for me. I have nothing against Dairy breeds, just too much milk for me, and they always look too skinny...

I would be happy with 1/2 gallon a day for myself, so would leaving a calf on her be an option? Just me and my wife in the household. My animals will also be kinda like pets. Thanks Daniel

I see some post were a cow or calf are refered as short eared or long eared. What does this mean? Thanks Daniel

I worked at a steak house in the 70's as a waiter. I asked a gentlemen how he wanted his Strip Steak. His response was, and I quote "knock it in the head, cut off it's horns, wipe his behind and bring him on" (he used a different word for behind). He wanted it cold, the fat still hard, 10...

Iv'e started a quite a disscussion. It's great to see all the different views on the subject. Daniel

Well this is my first post outside of the Welcome forum. I go to and also watch online, all the cattle auctions I can. The vast majority of cattle sold are black, and they are the ones that bring the most money. Is there a reason that they are prefered? My soon to be retirement home is in...
