[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1771078, member: 25884"] Considering all that you mentioned, I think they would be a good bet. Since he is going to breed them, what do you really have to lose? They are worth more than .50 / lb for beef around here... and since they are a swiss/braunvieh which is basically a beef swiss anyway. they ought to make good milk and be able to raise one more calf for you. But they shouldn't "overmilk" at this age so the calves ought to just get along fine. I agree, get them bred, check for opens, sell them, and then see how the rest do with the calves. [/QUOTE]
