Nice calf, love her hip! She sure does not look like she has any dairy in her.
Great pictures!

Thank you all.
Ron, cow isn't very big, ~1650-1700lbs, but her heifer is very small, not bigger than 65lbs. She's one of the smallest calf we've ever had. :) We've searched for the second calf when saw her borned.

Your bull looks a lot like mine, Also Limo at 28 months... I hope my calves next year look like yours, that would make me quite happy

For what breeds cows you'll use your bull?
Limousine bull is a good choise for crossbreeding with such breeds like Angus or BB.
 
A pic of yesterday borned bull calf. Dam is half BB, half dairy. He should be one of the most impressive calf.

Also a month old bull calf from back.

lithuanian farmer...curious if when you use dairy cross animals they need more feed to get them through the winter as opposed to straight beef breeds? Actually anyone can comment on this...I love the look of these cows, but do they have greater maintenance requirements than beef animals? All the best!

We feed them hay and usually make 10 round hay bails per head for the winter season. ~30 cows eat 3-4 bails per day.
Our cows spent all winters outside, except when cow calves we move her to the barn if there are snow and cold out, that calf won't get ill. Our winters are sometimes very long, ~6-7 months. Temperature can be -30C and colder, but never had any problems with cows health.

As long as they are dry going through winter I haven't noticed my dairy cross cows to be any higher maintenance than my purebred beef cows. Though the couple that calved in the fall and raised calves through the winter ended with nicer calves because they always had plenty of milk for them.

I love your cattle! That bull throws some great calves. :D Do you retain most of your heifers?
Click to expand...
Thank you. Yes, we're very happy about this bull, because of good calves and very easy calving. We try to leave the best heifers, but now almost all girls show a great potencial, so it's going to be hard to choose a few of them for breeding. Now have 6 heifers sired by this bull. But in the first place for leaving would be a red 7/8 Limousine heifer, maybe dark with white spots and a red with white spot on her head out of Charx cow.
 
Lithuanian Farmer, you always have the prettiest calves. All of your cattle are so healthy.
Last year you took a picture of you sitting on a bull. If your next door neighbor comes riding by on his horse with his shirt off, get on your bull again and be sure to have someone take a picture of the two of you and post it. :D
