[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 353876, member: 2308"] What is the first thing you think of when you read that? For me it would be milk or maternal. Probably milk. NOT IN THIS CASE. We have a first calf heifer that IS Shorthorn x Gelbveih. Was really looking forward to seeing how she developed as a cow. She calved on Mar 12. Great mother, but it seems no milk :shock: . We have been supplementing the calf for the last couple days. Pretty sure that the milk isn't going to ever be there, but until we get a new cow for her (and we will one way or the other) the calf will stay on the heifer. Just wondering how long it might take for this heifers milk to come in? I am thinking she has what she has, and will make great steaks later on this summer. But I really am amazed that she has no milk :mad: . We raised her, and her mama milks well, and as we got the bull from a purebred guy up the road after he was done with him as a herdsire, I can't see that as an issue (he hasn't had any problems with the daughters that we know of). Mama is purebred Shorthorn, and the sire is registered Gelbveih. [/QUOTE]
