[QUOTE="MoGal, post: 623780, member: 1346"] A few years ago, I would have said, "Nooooooooo, I don't want holstein in a beef herd.... but marriage has a way of changing things....... hubby likes holsteins and we have 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 holstein in many of our cows and heifers. Last year we had 2 holstein x galloway heifers, this year we'll have 2 holstein x red poll calves. Hubby has a black bull out of his favorite cow, "Pet" and this bull is 3/4 angus, 1/4 holstein. He doesn't want to sell him and I just figure those heifers we keep will eventually be crossed to a continental bull because as we all know holsteins have no butt. We have some angus/holstein x red poll calves this year that are nice. I'm well pleased with them so far (they were born in late Nov./early Dec so its too early to say for sure but I imagine we shall keep them) Get the crossbred calves. You need to be a grain farmer or own the feedstore if you're gonna have straight holstein (if you intend to feed them up to their full potential). [/QUOTE]
