[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 687256, member: 8265"] I've considered that, but didn't want the bother of having a cow hanging around that I don't need. With my luck she'd have 5 bull calves in a row. Was hoping the scenarios painted here were the case and if a dairy had some cows they didn't care about breeding to dairy, they could breed a few of them to beef for better odds of a heifer. Another option is buying a heifer from Jersey dairy and renting her to a nearby Holstein dairy which does my AI. He said he'd breed her as I want and would milk her. Was hoping to avoid all the hassle, but maybe that's what it'll take - or I can just keep one of my heifers that would be 1/4 dairy. Even they give enough milk for us - now we're selling some with the 1/2 dairy small cow. [/QUOTE]
