[QUOTE="The Agrarian, post: 4566342, member: 3656"] I more or less saturated the herd with Oman genetics years back and found I basically had nowhere else to go. At a time catalogues were just full of Oman or Goldwyn ( :eek: :nailbiting:) blood which was one of the reasons for looking outside the breed. I haven't found any of my first cross montbeliarde or fleckvieh to be useless. There very likely will be a few crop up if I carry on breeding successive generations that way, but I'm not that far along yet. Fully expect heifers to be much lighter in milk though for first lactation. Which to me isn't a bad thing anyway. Without wanting to stimulate a debate on this thread about Holsteins, I have had my fair share of useless ones of them. It's all good when things are going well for them, but man they can be truly pathetic when they hit a speed bump. I'm dealing with one this weekend, and the outlook isn't good. She just gave up immediately and when they get stiff there's basically little hope. [/QUOTE]
