[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1845812, member: 40587"] We had just found out a couple of weeks ago, that the Herf- Guer cow, that had the tiger-stripe heifer last month, was already bred by a yearling Gyr bull before we took her to the red Brahma bull. After learning about this program, I go to thinking that heifer might make someone a good brood cow one day.[I] If [/I]she had been 1/2 Brahma( good mothers with adequate milk) 1/4 Herf ( great mothers and adequate milk) , and 1/4 Guernsey (oodles of milk) , chances are she was gonna be good calf-raiser. But now, being 1/2 Gyr, she might even be able to raise 2. I don't think she will be as "beefy" looking as a 1/2 Brahma would be. I don't know if I have ever seen a 1/2 Gyr, or probably wouldn't have known if I did. I guess we will see how it turns out in about 30 months or so. If I don't have a stroke leading up to the November elections, or a heart attack after it is over! [/QUOTE]
