kickstart Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Basically they is not a breed that will do both milk and beef , the predominantly black and white Friesian and Holstine Frisian are good for milk ,but not so good for beef ,a black and white bull calf if it is fed well will make a half decent beef animal ,it has to be slaughtered at about 18 months . Something like a Charolais or an Angus, put on a dairy cow will produce a good beef animal, again if feed wel ,I have seen some Charolais x Fresian's being milked ,yield not over brilliant , on a Thai diet 12-15 kg of milk a day, also they have a problem with heat stress . The Kampangpet/Tark beef breeds which are about 60% Charolais, and 40% Brahman .are good for beef, same breed as the Thai/French beef company in Issan and the one in Surpanburi , but you try and milk them very low milk yields , and with the Brahman blood the buggers will kick you hard.
