[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1508517, member: 25884"] I also heard about the "hiding", or disposing of, the red calves might be born. And it happened in the purebred registered holsteins also. The red & whites that cropped up occasionally were hidden, killed, or gotten rid of as fast as possible. Then the R&W holstein assoc was formed, now it is just all registered in the holstein assoc. I milk test a farm who has b&w, r&w holsteins and brown swiss. We run them as 3 separate strings and their r&whites often out produce their b&whites. They show and do some ET but they are a "commercial dairy" as far as breeding for milk production too. Not just for type and such, but these are functional, productive cows as well as being show cattle. Had one farmer that had reg b&w holsteins and hated the reds, said they were inferior..... old time thinking. [/QUOTE]
