I went from 81 cows down to 5. I still have my Brimmer/Char cross. My grandsons had a fit when I considered selling the 14 year old gal. They love her and she's always been a favorite. She is an easy keeper. My wife won't quit petting her. The cow was about 11 years old when we got married. Anyone can walk up and scratch her and she loves it. Calm as a cucumber. One of the best I have ever owned and she is indeed an F1.
Her daughters (F2's or F3's) have been light on the udders. I don't know why. We wanted to retain them but haven't been able to do so.
The cow herself has calved every 11 months or so since she was 2. Lots of milk. Calves have always been thick and good sellers. She's been crossed with angus, brangus, and char bulls throughout the years.
She'd make liars out of anyone who says they are high strung. Perhaps she is simply unique and does not adhere to the rules.
