[QUOTE="Beef Man, post: 1085335, member: 13859"] As a kid growing up here in east Mt.it was very comman to see a lot of roan cows scattered in a lot of cowherds. They were a product of the family milk herd crossed with the beef bull at that ttime was a hereford and were usually considered as one of the best produceing cow's on the place. A lot of the old milk cows were considered to be Duram's I guess It was many years before I realized that a lot of those good old family cows were really Shorthorn. My grandmother milked 8-10 until she was 75 and they were from solid white to solid red's and never fed grain all summer and they produced very well.Oh what a difference a few decades of years makes. I think if the truth be known the hereford/shorthorn cross's were the backbone of the industry as it began and grew, maybe made it possible for our folks to live and prosper enough so we can be where we are today!!
