[QUOTE="linbul, post: 641118, member: 10356"] I know how it sounds, but there is no such term "finishing" here. Everything above 12mo age is considered "beef". At this time EU is implementing new grading system (E.U.R.O.P.), which is considering the body structure, fatness and muscularity, nothing about the process. That's what I know about. @[b]Red Bull Breeder[/b] Thank You, would be highly appreciated. @[b]CKC1586[/b] Thank you, just doesn't seem the right breed for us. @[b]P.A.L.[/b] Thank You! Going to PM you if no problem... Sounds all here have consensus about Hereford mothers. 10x again! About the "monster" crosses. Two years ago we crossed 8 dairy Simi's with Charolais bull. It was ugly! 4 men plus vet had to pull two calves with hoists at the birth, one cow went down, one calf was dead at birth... After that: bottle feeding - no substitutes; creep feeding - no way. Culled them at 3 months age. One more - a herd of 400 gasconne (it's like Blonde d'Aquitane) cows nearby, at free range pasture, unassisted calving. The poor guy (ambitious Belgian) went broke in a year - only 30 cows left (not only because of calving, but in a way). Conclusion: as P.A.L. said, don't mess with the monsters if you don't have a vet in the house, nerves like ropes and buildings. [/QUOTE]
