[QUOTE="dirtfarmer, post: 513385, member: 7055"] Kerry is a dual-purpose breed that people might want to examine. They are an ancient breed and they can survive where others will starve to death, eating what modern cows refuse. Kerries are smaller than most modern cattle, cows weighing about 500 -600 lbs. and crossbreeding to Kerry bulls should be wonderful for first-calf heifers. They are the only breed that has not been bred-up to be high-input high-output animals. They will increase the milk when crossed with most beef breeds. They will make dairy herds have much more grass-fed tendencies. They are good homestead animals and make very good family milk cows and will give about two gallons per day. There are no Kerries for sale since they are almost extinct, but you can buy the semen. They are similar to Dexter but they do not have the bulldog/dwarfism gene that Dexters have. I have four Kerry heifers and a Kerry bull, and I'm going to buy hereford heifers to go with them so the hereford heifers will produce thrifty little black baldie calves since Kerries are black.
