Comments: Henry Meyer continues to do what they say can’t be done in North Dakota. His PCC-bred cows went 12 years without being fed any hay — until last year’s brutal winter. Henry was forced to feed hay last winter for 80 to 100 days. Having a herd of crossbred cows has given Henry a definite advantage. Crossbred cows have always been able to do more for less. These heifers are 3/4 Angus and 1/4 Tarentaise. I have always loved cows that are 1/4 to 1/2 Tarentaise. They are the most productive, fertile and long-lasting cows we have ever worked with. These heifers were sired by top-sort PCC Angus bulls. They have been pasture-bred to calving-ease sons and grandsons of the great Moderator bull. Moderator was the “king of calving ease.” He died two years ago at age 13.
