What is the best cross breed Dairy Beef cross for a family cow? Also I have registered Paso Finos I would trade for a family cow Pictures are on my blog.. I have a half Jersey half Brown Swiss she is a little fisty but Im enjoying her would like to have one more so I could have one fresh all the time. The extra milk goes to familys in need for free.

I ranch in central Saskatchewan. I have a beef herd of 60+ cows, a small Dexter herd (3 cows, 1 long yearling heifer & 2 weanling heifers) & a little dairy herd (2 Jerseys & a Holstein). I am a third generation rancher (the first female though! ). Do you have a cow you are looking to breed, or?

I have found, in my experience, the Jersey cross will result in a smaller cow, but docile. The Brown Swiss cross is a larger frame while maintaining the docility & manageability. Shorthorn however remain my favorite - good temperament, good milk, good mothering, good growth & great finish in a "mid sized" more compact body! We had a Guernsey when I was growing up. We bred her Brown Swiss, Jersey & she even visited with the Simmental bull once!! She was a FABULOUS cow! HIGHLY recommend!!
