[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1540004, member: 25884"] I like the montbeliarde crosses. The cattle flesh really well no matter what they are out of. I have crossed my jerseys with angus, a few simmentals, some aubrac, and will be using some limi semen I have this year on anything I do not want a dairy replacement heifer out of. Trying to get a few more percentage guernseys, as they were so close bred that they do not have the "staying" power. One of my dairies has used a fair amount of montb and said the cows were too fat, yet they milked well and had good butterfat and no health issues. The steer calves finished out good.... but there is no market for anything beef that is not black. So they make good personal beef or private sales. Normande are also a pretty decent dairy cross. I have no experience with Fleckvieh. I would not use shorthorn but mostly because again, there is no market for the calves. [/QUOTE]
