[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1539289, member: 24816"] Probably not much help, and sure can't give any advice on finding that specific crosses other than what other folks have already stated. Years ago I ventured into dairy calf raising, and we were not in a dairy area either. Don't know how far away from any dairies you are, but we were about an hour from the closest and within a couple ours of some more. We drove to the areas and asked around at feed stores, extension offices, etc. if they knew of any dairies that might sell them calves. We did make a few connections. Nowadays those dairies are few and far between and I stopped raising the calves when all my reliable sources quit milking. There are some folks that were into contract raising large numbers of calves and sometimes you could buy weaned calves from them. Not sure what it's like in your area but maybe talk to your county agent about where some dairy areas may be fairly close. On a side note it may be difficult to find and procure that particular cross especially if they are breeding them for a specific program. [/QUOTE]
