[QUOTE="regolith, post: 640159, member: 9267"] Why low-line? Most Jersey cows can be safely crossed to the regular Angus - not heifers, not the smaller-framed ones. You need a low birthweight bull for those - low-line, Jersey, plenty of little breeds around though not so easily sourced. Plenty of people crossing Hereford to Jersey too - I wouldn't do it myself, but they get away with it, nice(ish) calves, not too many calving issues. What mature weight are you looking for? I've posted this one before - these are new calves from Jersey cows AI'd to Angus. Fine for a small-holder to take through to slaughter but they don't have any true re-sale value.
