[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1764314, member: 40587"] yep. These cows looked like giant Holsteins, and their udders were not like a dairy cow udder. More like a heavy milking beef breed. like the udders the original red & white Simmentals used to have. Ben & Jerry, the team the dude had when I first met him, stood as tall as his Belgian team, 18+ hands. They looked identical but one was Chi bull x Hol cow, and the other was Hols bull x Chi cow. They both were virtually pets, as gentle as any cattle I have ever seen. They were less trouble to shoe than some of his draft horses. He could out a whole herd of grandkids on their backs, and lead them around. But, I suspect that disposition came from being hand-raised and handled several times a week, as much as the breeds they were. [/QUOTE]
