Rockview Herdsman Builds Angus-Holstein Beef Program
Animal science researchers manage the 200 cow Rockview herd on 500 acres of pasture, shifting from yearling steers to a crossbred Angus-Holstein cow herd. Polled Hereford bulls sire about 25 cows each, with semen donated by breeders in exchange for performance records. Carcass quality shows favorable fat cover and muscling, aiming for desirable consumer meat.
