[QUOTE="regolith, post: 650514, member: 9267"] Aha - you've seen them in their home environment. Can I throw a couple of questions out Anazazi? What is the average birth weight/average mature weight of the purebred? I've found a source somewhere recommending the breed for crossing over Holstein that claimed the crossbred was equal in size to the Holstein, but the breeding values, if I'm reading them right, suggest they're just a little larger than an Ayrshire. I've looked at the breed - Ambreed are marketing them - but won't be using it this coming season. I can't afford to use anything the size of a US Holstein over my average cow (about 450 kg/1000lb mature weight). NZ Friesian at 1300 lb is okay. [/QUOTE]
