We know someone that cringes every time she comes to our farm and sees our lineback cows. She cannot understand why we would want to milk them, they are a beef breed she says ( they are actually a dual breed). Above is a few pictures of the udders of 3 of our first calf heifer lineback cows who freshened months ago, I think they look good and are very promising ( they could use the iodine washed off them before any more pictures). They also help with the components in our milk, we usually run about a 4.2 butterfat. My husband fell in love with the first lineback cow we purchased so now with AI and now our own bull we have several of them and so far so good!
Those girls look amazing, especially for first calf heifers!
ReplyDeleteHi, this is the first time I have heard of a Lineback...are they a cross? between? I did some reading on line, but wondered what cross yours are...I can see why your hubby likes them, they are a pretty cow. They look like they give plenty of milk...
ReplyDeleteI don't know the exact history of linebacks but most our linebacks are Holstein/lineback crosses and some have jersey and brown swiss.
