[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1365014, member: 25884"] I was thinking the cross on a jersey to see if it increased the marbling but see the reasoning on using it on other types. Will not intentionally cross any jerseys with holstein. Been there ,done that. The cows do milk decent but most have attitudes. They also tend to have much more problems with udder support in the third plus lactation. Have had a dozen or more of my own, seen hundreds in 25 years on dairies. There are a few farmers that like them, but 75-80% of them hate them and won't keep them around. I guess I have kept maybe 2 out of 10 or 12 past the second lactation and a couple that got really b****y and went to the stockyard and never got bred back for a second calf. So not an option in my book. I am going to look into the breed a little more though, I'm intrigued by it now. :nod: :nod: :nod: [/QUOTE]
