[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 15178"] This is just my opinion and experience. We used to breed Simmentals, and a few were sold to a dairy farmer who milked them. The right bloodline could give you the amount of milk you want or waaaaay more. Our cows were doing over 16,000 lbs per lactation--one did a little over 21,000. (similar to average holstein) The milk is a higher fat and protein vs holsteins, a little less than Jerseys. Obviously these cows were fed! It is a dual purpose breed so that is why this would work. These were also fullbloods, if that makes a difference. And obviously very docile. Also, shorthorns or braunvieh (beef form of brown swiss) may have more of what you're looking for. [/QUOTE]
