We inherited a couple of salers heifer calves a few years back and they have each had and raised a pretty nice calf. They are great mothers even as heifers. They were rotationally grazed on a one acre alfalfa paddock with about 5 pounds of dry hay/head/day and a couple pounds of grain and premix. We would like to finish our calves on alfalfa/grass but I know that purebred salers will not do that. We are also looking for something that has a good disposition. I can pet the cows in the pen when I am feeding them, but as soon as I go to work them, they go a little nuts. My plan is to AI them soon to something that can start a foundation to build from that will produce a docile animal that will finish on grass. Thanks for your help.
