I'm trying to start a small mixed production operation (milk & meat)
A friend of mine offered me some cross bred heifers (6 mos old):
He's keeping the male calves for beef production
My questions are:
Any ideas? Any recommendations? Thanks a lot
A friend of mine offered me some cross bred heifers (6 mos old):
- Holsteins sired with Belgian Blues
- Holsteins sired with Charolais
He's keeping the male calves for beef production
My questions are:
- Any ideas what breed would I cross them with for a better heterosis?
- Sire them with Montbeliards? Limousin? Charolais? BBB?
Any ideas? Any recommendations? Thanks a lot
