[QUOTE="O'Reilly, post: 4564656, member: 1848"] They're not brilliant. I will not use any more, and I've never culled a genetic group so hard. Yes calves are valuable, but we are milk producers, temperament can be a problem, fertility and lameness isn't great, production isn't great, and they are some great fat lumps that get in the way and take up too much space in the parlour. Everyone is on about getting a kilo of solids per kilo of live weight as the new target, well that's quite difficult if your cow weighs a tonne. Stick to Friesian, or Norwegian or Viking reds if you want to crossbreed. [/QUOTE]
