[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 1474276, member: 31518"] When I see a question like this I always think, why? What are you trying to accomplish with these crosses? The Tarentaise cows are about 900 to 1,300 pounds. That is about the same as Texas Longhorn cows. Maybe if you crossed these two to create F1 heifers that could then be crossed with a British breed. I think the Devon is the largest British breed, so that would give the terminal calves some size. You would also get the benefit of the heterosis of a three-breed cross. [/QUOTE]
