[QUOTE="cbcr, post: 1108313, member: 16303"] While the Fleckvieh is basically a dual purpose animal there seems to be a more beef Fleckvieh and then a Dairy Fleckvieh. Some of the Fleckvieh bulls that are promoted more for the dairy industry have a 3 - 10 % Red Holstein or a low percentage of Montbeliarde. We have the Composite Dairy Cattle Registry as well as the Composite Beef Cattle Registry and we estimate that there are somewhere around 25 - 30,000 Fleckvieh dairy animals in North America, purebreds and crossbreds. The Fleckvieh's are milking just as well as the Holstein, but the baby calves are worth more and if a Fleckvieh cow has to be culled she brings more money as well. The biggest reason dairymen are using Fleckvieh and Montbeliarde is because the Holstein cows are too frail, not breeding back, feet and leg problems. [/QUOTE]
