well i would buy the holsteins for young horse too track on and score cause they were MOST of the time slower. though once in a while you would get one that ran like the wind but it went in with the roping calves.Alice":14ulelow said:ALACOWMAN":14ulelow said:well you know how dairy farms have alot of there own terms like freshen, didnt know it was a dairy term too. but what i know about dairies you could put in a thimble. have used some holstein calves too train rope horse's though. that was back when you could pick em up for about 25.00 ;-)Alice":14ulelow said:It's not just an overall cow term?

At the sale Wednesday, they were giving bottle baby holstein bull calves away...only a few went for $80, and that was tops. Calves that used to start at $50-$75 were going for $2.50 - $15. And yes, springers is also a dairy term.
