[QUOTE="dun, post: 427647, member: 34"] The dairy would make the teats too small for hand miling. Try Gelbvieh or Simmenthal. There are animals within those breeds that are very heavy milkers. Enough for a family and to raise a calf. Look for animals with the highest milk EPDs within any given breed and you'll get heavy milkers. We started a herd 30 some odd years ago with F1 Angus Holsteins. Below average meat production but way above avergae milk. They raised 4-5 calves a year. all at the same time. The biggest problem is that along with the milk comes the need for better feed, i.e. grain and lots of it. [/QUOTE]
