Saler or lim x British friesian

[Stockwell]

Currently running saler cows put to the Charolais bull but have got the chance of some lim x British Friesian heifers. Just wondering which people think will produce the heaviest Charolais calves, the best would be sold straight off the cow and the rest to be sold as yearling stores.
I remember 30 years ago the lim x British Friesian cows putting some serious milk into the Charolais calves until the Holstein ruined to quality of the cows. Obviously anything out of a British Friesian is a rareity these days. Thanks

The best suckler cow is a Limousin x British Friesian, get them bought quick before someone else does. They are usually difficult to find.

If they are out of good fresian cows get them bought! Make belting cows

They will both do the job I think maybe the limx might do it slightly better if I’m honest but the saler will do it with less work, hassle and problems associated with dairy type suckler cows low bags, bad feet etc and you can’t breed your own replacements

Wouldn’t the wider pelvic area of the saler make for easier calving to the char. And ample milk, rather than a dairy cross thing that may have far too much , then get weeded!
