[QUOTE="Poorbuthappy, post: 6883584, member: 441"] I really like the stabiliser. They do as they claim ime, easy calving (I assist 2-3% on average ), fast growing, easy fleshing, medium sized cow. They are also generally pretty quiet - maybe not quite so as the blue x dairy cows I started with, but I dont recognise ploughman61's experience. Certainly been on various breeder's farms and cows are quiet to walk amongst. As are mine. No doubt there will be exceptions, as with any breed. However, if you intend to sell through the sale ring, I would be hesitant to recommend. They're just not known enough. And they aren't flashy, showy types to catch attention. I know some buyers like them and will seek them out for their growth rate, but I'm always nervous to encourage anyone selling store to go the stabiliser route. Using stabiliser to breed replacements is a different thing of course, and I'd say give some a go from that point of view. What's the bull's breeding? [/QUOTE]
