Cross Breeding Dairy And Beef Cattle Discouraged
Ames experts say cross breeding dairy and beef cattle tends to reduce overall profitability. Professor Espe notes milk checks suffer from dual production, urging pure breeds and stringent sire selection. Dairy calves for veal fetch best returns when nursed by cows, with skim milk and careful feeding to avoid stunting. Heifers and breeds like Holstein and Brown Swiss excel in veal yield with lower feed needs.
