[QUOTE="Dsth, post: 1597382, member: 38038"] I switched from my Holstein dairy herd to beef about 35 years ago. my first beef calf was from a Holstein cow. when she calved, she would drip milk out for a month after she calved; even after her calf sucked. She did have a set of twins once and raised them both with no problem. I now have 4th or 5th generation offspring from that cow, and they are some of my favorite cows in the herd. never had a problem with original beef cow breeding back. the first couple generation calves still had the dairy cross look, but now they all have the beef look and still seem to milk well. Even now, one of her offspring supplies more milk than her calf sucks until it gets a couple weeks old. Even with the good results from that cow, I would not recommend crossing beef cows with dairy bulls. some of the dual purpose bulls may work out good for what you want to try. Hope whatever you try works out for you. [/QUOTE]
