[QUOTE="andybob, post: 671203, member: 2703"] Over here the bull calves mostly go as veal, many used to be shipped to France, but the "animal welfare" lobby put a stop to that! Many commercial dairies cross their cows to Hereford, the steers are finished as "baby beef", the heifers are sold on as "Black Herefords" to be bred to Angus to produce a terminal generation to be finished as barley beef, or to Limousin. There has been a trend toward dairy producers going back to the British Fresian due to the problems associated with the high producing Holstein, the Fresian has more of a dual purpose conformation and so is marketed through the regular beef markets, and gives a better conformed F1 when crossed with a beef breed.
