[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 8153091, member: 86168"] we may well have to breed cattle that can utilise grass differently to the present ones, actually breeders are doing that already. We had an interest in a CI herd, on a very dry farm, those cows would strip graze old fashioned grass (pp), at mowing stage, and milk off it. I would love to turn the clock back, and feed that herd, with the new practices, mob grazing etc, quite certain it would be better production, that herd was bred out to hol, and those cows definitely wouldn't produce of that. Profit wise, there was very little difference between the fr type herd here, and the CI herd, except in calf money, and barren price - very big difference there, and one of the main reasons, of swapping, looking back, l think it was the wrong way, then it was, 'why have you hung on so long' !!!!
