[QUOTE="crazy guy, post: 884564, member: 17557"] hi everyone thanks for your help and answers to my previous questions, but now i have a new dilemma. my plan was to buy young calfs, keep them till they are mature, breed them, and when their offspring reaches the right weight, sell them. and do the same every year. now i am also thinking about taking advantage of the cows milk producing ability. i could still produce the same amount of cattle for beef, but i would also have some money coming from the milk. however, if i will be able to do that, considering the barn standards and equipment needed, is highly questionable. if i would be sure that i will end up as dairy producer, i would just go with holstein and i would not bother with the money i loose bc i dont have the best beef cow, bc it would bring me more on the dairy producing side of the business. so, my question is: what breed should i choose, what breed is good for beef production, that is also good milk producer? so if things will turn out that way, i will not have to get rid of all my cattle, and start all over again. or should i just go ahead and use holstein for beef production, and if i will not switch to dairy production is not such a big deal? thanks for reading :) [/QUOTE]
