[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 774885, member: 1279"] I dunno, if you select the wrong one, of course. As long as you keep an eye on birthweights and don't use them on small cattle you can get some cracker calves. One of the best and most consistent crosses I've seen are murray grey chars. Those 2 pictured in this thread are pretty average, to me they have got the negative traits from both the euro and aussie types. Aussies tend breed them soft but sacrifice muscle, but the french as you probably well know are large boned, poor structured in the legs and have those calving problems. But if you're smart and get a good mix of types, the crossy calves drop and grow like mushrooms. Being from Europe though I can understand why you have an opinion on them like you do. A lot of the full french are trouble, like you say. [/QUOTE]
