Milk breed favorite is Jersey for the A2 milk
Beefmasters are awesome and my Top favorite are my Bos Indicus (humped cattle) Gyr and Indu Brazilian as examples
I have Humped cattle, Gyr/Indu Brazilian type. I'd be happy to help with the Box indicus type cattle breeds.
Bos Taurus are the typical European breeds

My Missouri Foxtrotter mare, Million Dollar Lady is past 21 yrs old this year and as healthy as a horse half her age. Her longevity may trace back to her granddam, Maggie Ann Browns, World Grand Champion. Maggie Ann Browns was presented at the MFTHBA Celebration for her last lap at the age of...
