[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 906455, member: 13613"] Ok, here goes - I think. I'm planning on milk production for the farm not necessarily a dairy. Would rather have high amounts of rich cream than milk. I noticed some bulls are better at cheese making than others.. that would be great. Picture perfect udders would be nice and sturdy legs.. shall we say correct for all the right reasons not necessarily picture perfect. Fertility - heard some carry a gene that can be a problem - and longevity. I'd take low maintenace if possible. Gentleness a must! How's that for a start? Since you are better at this than i am, how would you go about it. All I know is the Jersey heifers I bought are from heifers that produced 50lbs milk from 25lbs grain and pasture. 2 of the heifers are very quiet and one is skittish - she balks at strange things , like my wearing a rain coat for instance. Valerie PS. I realise several generations will probably needed to stack what I'm after. Feel free to give direct that way... breed to this bull then that resulting heifer to this one, etc. [/QUOTE]
