For the first time last year we used Montbeliard seman and were shocked at how big the calves were! But also so beautiful. Now we use that seman only in our biggest cows. But I'll have to ask Keith about getting some Aquitane seman. Might as well add even more class to our Midwest farm where all the other farmers milk only the boring and dull witted Holstein.Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-83588641273093093192013-11-03T09:28:47.341+00:002013-11-03T09:28:47.341+00:00I love Aquitaines too Cro.

There is also a Jersey herd for special creamy milk. All milk has little profit these days - we went out rather drastically with Foot and Mouth and lost our herd, but we would have gone out anyway as it was becoming hard to make a Iliving. Sad really as this rarer breeds are such lovely animals. Now round here, where there are suckler herds, they are mainly Angus and/or Limousin cross.I hope you enjoy the new herd.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-42360911544593182722013-11-03T09:16:01.353+00:002013-11-03T09:16:01.353+00:00I don't see why not.
