Thank you for the update. You have piqued my interest in the Normande breed and I have been researching them (and dreaming of future plans). I came across this source for semen:

and the $$ is more than reasonable. That site also has some good general info on the breed (I noticed that they even mention Texas
)

I am seriously thinking about trying a Jersey/Normande cross. I like the idea that if we were to get a heifer calf, she would be good for dairying and, if not, the bull calf produced should outshine a (near) pure Jersey calf in terms of beef. Any thoughts?
I did not realize that there are 3 color combinations recognized for the breed (blonde, quail and brindled). They really are an aesthetically beautiful creature.
I think in a prior post, you mentioned that you were contemplating selling Daisy off. Did you ever make a final decision? Also, please let us all know when Daisy calves.
