The Black Baldy will grade with more marbling than the all Holstein and have 
a whiter fat.  He *might* grow a little slower but he'll finish real nice. 
They're a good cross for raising market beef.

When we had our place out in Windsor, we bought up a bunch of Holstein dairy 
cows when the feds told the dairymen to sell or else.  Picked them up for 
just about pennies.  We had a registered horned Hereford bull that had been 
one of the kidlets' 4-H projects and those calves all graded Prime.

We really like that cross for our butcher shop.
