[QUOTE="Tractor cymru, post: 8207597, member: 158353"] Was in similar situation a few years ago when decided to go into stabiliser cattle. We were putting lims and charolais onto the cows but still were having difficulty calving some of them. First calvers were ai to pure stabiliser bull. The calving of the pure was much easier. We decided to bull everything to stabiliser and haven't look back, much easier. They do well on less food and hardly any feed. As mentioned we haven't been brave enough to go down the store route yet. They work well as bull beef easily managing around 400kg carcasses at 12-13 months. Next year however I think with the current price of feed we will go down the steer route and fatten them off silage. If they do similar to the heifers that we send on the dead on grass only, they should do fine. They suit us but are not everyone's cup of tea. [/QUOTE]
