[QUOTE="Davy_g, post: 7945461, member: 3544"] Ok, that’s impressive. Me with my 30 head….embarrassing! I would put blonde to all your native x cows with a view to finishing all the stock. Use a terminal blonde. Good growth, fleshing ability and fat cover. I would use a more maternal blonde on all your continentals (except blue) with a view to breed replacement females. All the resultant breeding females to be put to a native, this would leave a 1/4 blonde calf with plenty of growth and confirmation that is easily finished. The males to be pushed hard and finished as bull beef if you have a market/outlet for them or cut and finished a few months later. Although a blue blonde cross is good to look at from a power point of view they are not a great proposition to get a fat cover of 3 on. [/QUOTE]
