[QUOTE="Backbone Ranch, post: 1108053, member: 20754"] You should breed a dairy cow every year for optimum milk production. You can milk her 10 months out of the year and then let her recover and put weight back on for the last 2 months of gestation. If you want to raise beef for yourself, I would recommend breeding to a beef breed so the calf would have more meat. I have attached a photo of a Guernsey x Murray Grey steer. He is shown as a 2 year old who has only eaten grass. He had a 904 lb carcass and a 1490 lbs. [img]http://ranchers.net/photopost/data/503/medium/IMG_2877_zps477c0adb.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
