[QUOTE="CharcoalWally, post: 5106338, member: 3171"] Maybe in the balmy, fertile South this might appeal to some , but I think that here in the North and West of Scotland that Jersey cross genetics would have little to recommend themselves for a hardy, low maintenance cow. Too thin skinned and fragile for the weather and needing too much management. Plus it's a mixture of genetics that are know for being, shall we say, a little "feisty. " Not necessarily desirable in a suckler cow. I had a friend who kept a small number of Jersey crosses some years back. He didn't speak of them in flattering terms. [/QUOTE]
