[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1661551, member: 968"] LOL - brings back old memories. We were in on some of the first Chi semen imported. We were in Kansas at the time. We scoured the states buying every OPEN Brown Swiss cow we could find. Bred them to Chi. The offspring turned out spitting image of the Chi's. White hair, black nose, black hide - but were beefier - yes the Br Swiss were thicker built than the Chi's. We had contracts in Oklahoma for every cow we got vet checked pregnant to Chi. We had a LOT of Brow Swiss cows running around at one point! Did not calve them out. Chi bulls were easily 7' at the shoulder. I also was under the impression that they were NOT a good milker. They were dominantly used for draft animals. [/QUOTE]
