[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1362313, member: 25884"] If you are looking for the milk production end I would agree on the milking shorthorn/jersey cross. If you just want some beefiness on the calf to raise to eat I'd go with an angus cross. The females make decent milkers too, and I usually put a 2nd calf on the 1/2 jer/ang , if she is going to get a little extra feed so doesn't get pulled down . They milk pretty good and I like it. There is also alot of dairies using sweedish or norweigan reds and they are beefier but milk pretty good. I am seriously considering trying it on my hol/jer crosses. Have not had alot of luck with shorthorn crosses on mine, but everyone's different. :) :) [/QUOTE]
