[QUOTE="DitchBank, post: 688570, member: 7381"] For the past couple months I've been buying some dairy heifers from a farm I've been buying calves from for a few years. I have been getting these types: Jersey/Holstien Cross, Jersey, Brown Swiss, and Milking shorthorn Jersey cross. I have gotten probably around 10-15 from them and although I am spending a pretty penny to get a hold of them I am making enough back when I sell them as they put some weight on and grow. My question is this, I have a small herd of Black angus cows and would like one or two milk cows mixed in and am only willing to keep 2 of the dairy heifers at the most. I want to have them in order to raise 2 or 3 calves at a time during every year just to raise a few more calves. Which out of these breeds/crosses would you keep a hold of if you were only keeping 2? Jersey Jersey/Holstein cross Brown Swiss Milking Shorthorn/Jersey cross [/QUOTE]
