[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1454961, member: 19683"] No Piedmontese blood in the herd, yet. Have some plans for AI in the following spring. Breeds which gave the best muscularity in out practice, so far, are Belgian Blue, Charolais and Limousine. Crossing these with other breeds improves muscularity of those. Have a few 3 breeds combos, which works very well for us. All cows came from the dairy ancestors and they are <50% dairy. This year had the first 7/8beef heifers calving. We get our cattle valued by 1-5 carcass fatness scores.

Once in a while get a couple 1, but usually from younger bulls after hotter weather.
