[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1598295, member: 25884"] Okay, there are some polled holsteins available as well as some polled jerseys. Have had a couple of polled jerseys born and they have done as good as any of the horned ones. I think that they could achieve some of what they were wanting just by using the already available polled breeds. The "red breeds" meaning Sweedish and Norweigen Reds, Montbeliarde, and Normande all have a very high rate of polled animals. A montbeliarde or normande crossed on a holstein gives you a very beefy, easy keeping cow that milks good and has high butterfat. It was all the rage for awhile, and I honestly liked the cross alot. All the ones I know of born on a couple of dairies using the semen AI were polled. [/QUOTE]
