Neighbour milks a big herd of montbelliarde, but they are organic. Has some cracking beef cattle as well. Crosses some with Salers and some with BB and often tops the market. Holsteins have ruined half the beef job unfortunatelyThe old man was into this sort of stuff: MRI, montbelliarde and rotebund (rotebunte?). My opinion was that if you’re going to milk a cow then get a milking cow. Those breeds didn’t do anything particularly well.
Has Mr B still got my old lorry?Neighbour milks a big herd of montbelliarde, but they are organic. Has some cracking beef cattle as well. Crosses some with Salers and some with BB and often tops the market. Holsteins have ruined half the beef job unfortunately

How many are they milking?One herd in Llanymynech. Crosses them to a Lim. Fantastic calves, some of the best that come to Oswestry.
MRI bulls can be very aggressiveI used to relief milk a herd of MRI, brilliant cows, milked as well as Friesian types, was a very simple system, they never needed much attention, had really good calves, knacker man didn't do too well out of them
They can, just like any other bullMRI bulls can be very aggressive
