[QUOTE="Peace, post: 1762658, member: 41443"] When I was a kid in the early 70's we had a neighbor that milked about 30 cows with his 2 kids. He almost always had about 15 heifer calves that he was raising as replacements and then had about 15 head of Holstein/Hereford cross cattle, which I'm not 100% sure but am guessing that he bred Hereford to his heifers. Can somebody explain to me why? The rest of them that did a beef/Holstein cross used Angus for calving ease and I'm not sure that Hereford would be any more calving ease than Holstein, so can somebody tell me why he bred this way, other than the obvious that he had a buyer for them, which he did.
