[QUOTE="DairyNerd, post: 8149255, member: 168926"] If you want a simple system then i wouldn't go for a Holstein, they produce milk at the expense of basically every other trait you want in a cow on a simple system. Not saying they dont have a place but its not that. I have mainly Irish Freisian cross Jersey's, probably too far the other way for you. Got a few Irish holstein cross Irish freisian, they are decent too. I bought for solids but you can buy irish cows with lower solids, great grazing animals. Calved 30 out of 45, started 25th March, no milk fever cases, all calved easily, helped 1 set of twins but didn't use the jack. Currently averaging 25 L from 1.5kg cake, it's my first year on my own so i dont think i'm doing anything spectacular but they are great little cows and would highly recommend. [/QUOTE]
