[QUOTE="Farmerjon, post: 1763402, member: 17113"] I partnered with an old guy that couldn't keep up his herd of shorthorns. I took the herd of 15 cows and a few heifers home and the first year bred them with what I had, a jersey bull. From those crosses we built a herd of cows that did well in the 4H ring for my girls as bucket calves and then as cow and calf projects. Sold out of cattle in 2013 or 14. Kept raising 6 or so for freezer beef. Now the grandkids are in 4H so we have 10 dairy beef steers and 10 bucket calves year round. [/QUOTE]
