[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1656452, member: 24816"] I don’t have any knowledge of that specific cross, but did have some Hereford x Jersey cows due to our nurse cow project. Those make some nice cows usually. The milking ability is usually pretty high except we did have one that didn’t have enough to raise a calf. The Jersey x Hereford can result in some Brindles and that might also be picked again with the Brahman influence in the Brangus too. If the color isn’t a concern then I think it would be a good cross but a little costly to maintain in terms of what the Jersey would cost in dock if this was a continuous rotational cross. If used just to get a base of cows and then use a black bull on those cows then that could be some nice calves and received pretty good at the market too. [/QUOTE]
