[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 776639, member: 1715"] These crosses mature early and are very fertile. They can raise some whopper calves on good feed, but then usually break down after a couple years. The ones I have seen vary a lot in type -- most look very dairy, some not very much. There are lots of good heifers out there. I would only keep a X that had more muscle and more capacity and less leg than most. One of my two biggest calves is a B&W out of a 900# "RA" heifer. :shock: Obviously she has some Holstein in the wood pile but it only shows in the size and color of her calf. The other big calf is out of a 1000# red shorthorn heifer. They are both outproducing the big old beef cows. Preg check time will tell the tale. [/QUOTE]
