[QUOTE="DefenderDave, post: 7272827, member: 133632"] Hi all, we currently run an ayr calving suckler herd which are limmy x Friesian (from the old dairy herd here) put to a Simmental bull which produce some cracking calves. His offspring have then been put to a Saler bull as a separate herd, but the calves have been disappointing in comparison to the Simmys. Just wondering what breeds people would recommend to replace the Saler with, as currently top of the cards is another Simmental. Although we aren’t sure if we want the bloodlines to become too pure incase we get any health issues as the herd is currently fairly low maintenance. Father in law isn’t keen on anything native as everything is Finished intensively on farm. Yet I don’t want anymore limmy blood in the herd as they are flighty enough as it is! [/QUOTE]
