[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 554646, member: 2862"] Nothing wrong with a good dual purpose breed. While milk and muscle are often antagonistic, the idea of a true dual purpose animal is to increase milk WHILE maintaining/increasing muscle and maintaining feeding efficiency. I know many dual purpose breeders who have been selecting the "curve benders" and have hellish good cattle that anybody would be proud to own. Having said all this, you can find many good milking cows in the pure beef breeds as well, so its certainly nothing I'd get myself all hung up on. Pick your breed and find some good stock. They exist in virtually every breed. Rod [/QUOTE]
