[QUOTE="Anguscollegekid, post: 509419, member: 6088"] 50/50 English Continental are great for mothers, feeding, and carcass, an Angus/Simmi milks like crazy and lives forever. Had some Salers/Hereford cows that were really good cows too-milk, capacity, and bred every year-finally culled the group out at 14 or 15. The Angus/South Devon/Tarentaise composite was a good mother cow-moderate with rib, milk, and fertility. Angus/Hereford/Simmental/Gelbvieh pretty good too, seemed a bit harder breeding though, maybe a bit too much muscle. Throw a little Shorthorn or Jersey in any mix for a little extra milk and fertility and you may have the optimum cow, except the calves will likely be hard to get sold so then she'll no longer be the optimum cow...
