[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 385088, member: 852"] I'm kind of thinking along the same lines as y'all... just kind of hoping that maybe the angus influence will produce a better udder/smaller milk production...??? I haven't really any first hand experience when it comes to succeeding generations and how the calves compare with their mothers. And the only experience I've had with angus crosses is one that milked like a holstein her entire lactation, and the other who milked like a beef cow - a lot at first, then a sharp decrease after several months in milk. Boss didn't make a practice of running angus crosses in the milking herd. LOL. Here's the dam to my other angus cross heifer... [img]http://cattletoday.com/photos/data/500/cow26resized.jpg[/img] But it's not really fair to compare the two cows... since the first is a fresh 2nd lactation cow, and the other is 6 months into her 1st lactation (she's dry now).
