I like the cows and take a lot of pride in the herd and the calves which we fatten.reading other threads on here i thought suclers were on there way out looking at the last 2 posts i hope there not . have some just not been producing the right goods?
I really fancy getting 10-12 Hereford cows and having a mini herd to run alongside our limmy crosses
Nice picture but IMHO none of us can really compare with @Hilly 's viewI thought I would try to compete with hillysView attachment 966889View attachment 966890 view

Do you think you lose much milk once you get away from first cross from dairy?Thanks yes have been all lim bulls for a couple of years now but bought a blonde this time to go across some blues to breed some heifers. Also have a number of first cross lim cows and are keeping the 3/4 heifers back with a view to buying a blue bull next year to put back on the lim cows, again to breed heifers. Then will keep criss crossing the three breeds. A work in progress and they can always be better!

That can be a good thing though, as I find first cross dairy blues don’t have great longevity.Do you think you lose much milk once you get away from first cross from dairy?
Blonde??
Are Blondes quieter than Limousins ?Yes Katem Paddington. Seems to have settled well. Proof of the pudding will be next spring
