[QUOTE="neilo, post: 5105168, member: 348"] Funnily enough, I was thinking of a very similar set up. Back home, I had a neighbour on some grass keep who had started a suckler herd to run alongside his organic dairy herd. Back a few years, Angus X dairy heifer calves could be had for a fiver. He bought a bunch of them and reared them, then put them to a Charolais bull. Now the bull wasn’t the greatest specimen to be fair, and they were run on some shite grasskeep for most of the year, but they were producing some very tidy calves at very low cost, and for very little capital invested. His dairy herd was of Jerseys, and his later replacements were Angus X out of them. The cows, and the resultant calves didn’t look much different to the others. [/QUOTE]
