    Hey all I know this thread is old but I am curious how people have gotten on with them in the mean time?
    From what I have seen they could make a good cow. Suckler/weaning farm here. Has anyone crossed them with Limo or Charolais. Thinking of buying a few to try out. First calving or two to an AI Stabiliser bull and them Limo or Charolais from there. For anyone who has crossed them what colour are the calves. Red Limos and golden Charolais?

    Thanks very much for this. This is exactly what I am thinking of doing. Getting the best of the stabiliser cow and still having the Charolais for the weanling sales. Id like to keep all stabiliser to get the full advantage of the breed but I am a bit concerned about the weanling sales. After 2-3 years of stabiliser weanling sales that might give me the confidence to go full stabiliser.
    Now to find some good quality in calf stabiliser heifers or young cows with calves at foot to start the herd.
