    But I'd prefer a purebred bull, I do a fair bit of crossing on the cow side of things already. If I used a bull like this the forest gump factor would be huge:D

    mama always says life is like a box of choclates, you never know what yer gonna get

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I have to say I think they are stretching it calling them a "breed"
    To me a mixture of a few purebreds does not constitute a breed.
    I couldn't see the crossing of 2 INRA's breeding a true type.

    Didn't notice, only ever had one piedmontese around the gaff, lets just say one was enough. Maybe this is why Italy imports so much cattle:D

    French were reluctant to use Belgian bred animals on their Dairy stock just out of principle, primarily for veal production, thus generated a composite breed of Inra, a hybrid of multiple french breeds, with the emphasis on muscle whilst maintaining ease of calving, i'm looking forward to two of my own next spring, straws are pricey though.
