[QUOTE="Bob the beef, post: 6742061, member: 20420"] I might be wrong but I reckon the single biggest threat to suckler cows is beef from the dairy cow. There are plenty big operators now using sexed AA semen on dairy cows using AA bulls that have been bred to improve the eye muscle yield and provide a consistent marbled product. One of the big German discount supermarkets has recently signed a deal to source 8000 cattle a year from just such a system. They are taking 60 a week at the moment, every one grading 330-350 kg dw and R4L. The variation in suckler beef is it's biggest problem [/QUOTE]
