What are your opinions on the best suckler cow? We have 100 BluexHolstein & LimxHolstein that run with Limousin bulls which produce some decent, muscly and quick growing calves that are sold fat, bulls at 600kg and heifers around 500kg. This system does work for us, but I was wondering what other peoples opinions on the "best" suckler cow are?
We did venture into British Blues bulls in the past, the first bull we had was brilliant and produced top class calves but with a few calving difficultys (80% assisted) and 3-4 cesarean a year, but unfortunately the last 2 we have had were infertile! So were back to the trusty limmy but I will miss some of the cracking calves we used to get.
