[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1794065, member: 42463"] From what I've heard BS in Europe are considered an all purpose breed. Milk, meat, and they were used a lot for oxen. I think they tend to grow before putting on fat so would probably not finish unless at heavy weights. If I was to choose between Holstein and Swiss I'd go for the Swiss. Pretty sure the average BS would dress out at a higher percentage than the average Holstein. I had a couple of BS cows when I was working with a cross breeding program and they made some really good calves. But I never fed to finish a BS so take this for what it's worth... [/QUOTE]
