No mention of how slow they are to milk . But they look good so it doesnt matter, same as Windbrook

Doirmans are slow milkers? I suppose there's still a fair proportion in Canada milking via pipeline in a tie stall barn where milking speed probably matters less :/

Someone mentioned Classic a while back and I had my camera out. The first two are Classic's. The first has a little bit of friesian in. The second would be pure. The third is a something like Timotel out of a holstein

Smart cattle! Last two photos enjoying some longish pasture too.
What sort of yield would they be?

Anyone milking any Rubicon daughters? Ours are now calving in plenty of strength about them.

Are most people using just one semen company for all their straws?
