[QUOTE="ADHDan, post: 6451926, member: 140504"] as the title suggests, our milk buyer has announced were being axed because were somewhat out on our own, not enough dairys in the area to be viable, weve been given a 12 month notice to when they stop collecting the milk, i dont want to get rid of the cows altogether so dont suggest 'sell the lot' :ROFLMAO:... ive 100ish holstein, and we run a hereford bull (and AI brit blue to the cows), weve got about 25 hereford x heifers and the same amount of blue x heifers as stock we would usually sell as finishers. on flat land, steady winters, good grass . im after easy calving and nice temperament over gaining that extra £quid or two at market, will the hereford x holstein make the best cows for suckler over the blue x holstein if i get a herd of 100 hereford x holstein and buy a Brit blue bull to run with them will they produce decent calves or should i take another step away from the holstein (if it helps our cows were never huge milkers but have longevity, 14year+'s in the herd) :scratchhead: new to forum, first post, be gentle [/QUOTE]
