[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6925492, member: 86168"] I think a lot depends on your farm, we cannot run more than 130ish cows, rented land is to dear, £200acre +, so for us, barren,calf, and yield are factors, LIC tends to be smaller, they have a different system of payment. We would like, a yield of 6-6500, with good constituents, a better 'end' price, and calf price, but definitely not more purchased feed. Sticking my head out, I think the horrible holstien will produce the ideal cow, quicker than other breeds, why, they have an enormous gene base, to select from, most other breeds, except jerseys, do not have that base to start with. And, to be fair, we still have a few holstiens about, and they can produce on a grazing system, but we haven't got many ! Example, our 1 remaining hol, from origional, just calved her 9th, currently giving 37 liters,, currently done 80230 liters, at 4.1 fat, and 3.17 pr. Last lac 13122, 4.88 3.16 x 412 days, on a grass system ! Be happy with a herd of them ! never produced a heifer calf:( [/QUOTE]
