[QUOTE="Bald n Grumpy, post: 7675373, member: 149956"] Depends on what you call economically viable pieces of eight? I milk a small herd of dairy shorthorns, all are 100% pure by society standards and a growing number are original population. They produce milk of grass ,baled silage and some cake. Cows are never foot trimmed and produce a calf that is very marketable either beef cross or pure dairy Cull cows have a good value after a lot longer life than average Our industry needs to wake up to these points as its becoming less acceptable to treat calves as a waste product, cull before they've completed many lactations and lameness is a big issue when cows cross a road the people waiting don't remember the first to cross they remember the lame ones hobbling across last. Fashion changes what some people farm , not always for the best Rant over [/QUOTE]
