[QUOTE="Hardin Farms, post: 1597383, member: 38719"] Back in the winter i had the opportunity to buy some dairy stock for dirt. They were poor and in need of a lot of attention, but have come to life this summer. I have 4 Holstein/holstein cross cows, 4 brown swiss and 2 that i think are jersey/brown swiss crosses. I dont plan to keep these cows as brood cows, but i do plan on keeping all heifers from them for a few years to build a herd for my property around my house. I have an angus bull on them that i used to moderate the size in my beef herd (brangus) a few years ago. His heifers are usually moderate in size for the angus breed, but have good deep bodies with some length to them. I guess i'm wanting to waste money with this experiment, but my wife has fallen in love with the Brown Swiss cows, so i plan to see where i can take the cross.. I plan to keep this bull for its maternal traits for a few years and then put a terminal bull on them to see what i can get. Good luck with whatever you try. I think a dairy influenced sire wouldn't be a terrible way to do it, but be careful with birth weights. [/QUOTE]
