[QUOTE="Grass-Fed, post: 971739, member: 17207"] It is a bit disapointing to know that people are useing other then Dutch Belted Bulls on Dutch Belted cows. If you look at the Dutch Belted website [url]http://www.dutchbelted.com/Breeding%20Up.html[/url] you will read that becouse of the shortage of pure Dutch Belted cows, crossing of DB's should be done with DB Bulls. I know a breader of pure DB cows who is selling 7 month old DB helfers for $2000 bucks each, there half-brothers for $750 for breeding bulls, and 5 and 7 year old proven cows for 4-7K. DB cows can produce cows as old as 15 years. They are high and with the low cost of AI I dont know why someone would use anything but the best sire on a high priced cow. You have it backwords, people use DB bulls on other dairy cows. DB's have higher butter fat then Holsteins and produce a bigger steer then Jersey. Head to head DB vs Jersey on a grass only diet, the DB will out produce the Jersey on total milk, butter fat content, and raise a larger calf. Once you drink milk with higher butter fat, you just just cant drink factory rasied Holstein milk... just my :2cents: Jason [/QUOTE]
