[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1017714, member: 14261"] I have a moderate sized (1000 pounds) Brown Swiss nurse cow that now runs with the herd. First calf she laid down at the salebarn and calved an Angus sired bullcalf, mothered up and sold as a pair. She still had just baby teeth. He grew off REAL nice and heavy and you could not see dairy in him when he was weaned. After she raised about a dozen more calves we bred her to hereford bull. That heifer weighed every bit of 650 when we weaned her at 5 1/2 months. I got sick of foster calves. So I put her with the beef herd. Now she is due in July with another Angus. And that poor goofy Brown Swiss is YES dumb as a brick, but sweet and gentle. The calves knew how to suck but they were really slow to start eating feed. Mostly because they were never hungry for it. She's a milkwagon. [/QUOTE]
