[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 142157, member: 220"] I've got some Shorthorn cross cows in the herd, and although they are a smaller framed cow than some of my Exotic cows, they can really lay the fat to a calf. They are also pretty docile, which is sure nice when tagging and banding their calves. Oh, and good udder structure in those ones, too. They might not bag up as huge as a Simmie cow, but they sure do have a high butter fat content in their milk. Pretty much stress free compared to some of the other cows in the herd. Personally, I'd love to have a hundred more of them to cross with the Charolais bulls, but they are kind of hard to find up here due to some buyer prejudice at the auction against roan and loud-coloured calves at sale time. Kind of like the way they dock feather-neck calves. Take care. [/QUOTE]
