Some stores do it some do not but its perfectly legal to add things to the meat to help keep its color. Some places use embalming fluid to do this. All the preservatives in food today proves one thing. That the embalming process when we die is a money racket. We are already so well preserved...

This may be were he got that info. http://www.gelbvieh.org/gelbvieh/marcda ... esize.html

Deenranch I know what your saying. Everyone thinks I hvae huge cows when I say they are Braunvieh. They think of Brown Swiss and think I have large milk cows. They just dont get how Braunvieh has been bred to be Dairy breed in one direction and others a beef breed. My largest cow is 1315...

I just got a copy of last weeks market report. Cattle holding around the same for this market which isnt the highest selling market in my area but steady. But I about died when I saw what the price of lambs are. "" Lambs 85-100 pounds 62 head $170-$176. 75 pounds 16 head $186.50. 50-65...

its like being in a pizzing match with a skunk. You both end up stinking but the skunk doesn't care.

Those are some looking calves. I have never seen that breed before in person.

They havent sold yet so either no one is interested or not wanting to waste their time trying to bring them down to what they are really worth. I found out the man doing the selling tries to always do this and the complains and cries no one will buy his cattle and he takes a loss because he has...

WOW I havent seen anything that cheap here and actually saw someone trying to sell theirs for 2500. That was angus bred to a hereford.

I was curious as to what bred cattle are going for in everyones area. I been looking around and it seems the prices are all over the place around me. Some seem a good deal while others are just plain crazy on the high end. Or at least it seems that way for me. So what is the average price in...

I just thought I would give an update since I have some time to breathe. What was going to be a slow process of clearing land turned into a rush last fall and this winter but I now have all of my land cleared, fertilized and planted. Getting good rains and grass is growing great. I know it...

Thats how it is here too. Solid reds do pretty good but a rwf will get hammered.

lol now that is a good idea. And they have been going a good 25 to 30 cents cheaper than all the others and even more at times.

Well my start up herd is Braunvieh and I am really liking them. But with mroe land now available I may expand herd faster than originally planned so not sure what to go with. My local markets like the blacks and smokes best but anything sells better than a RWF around here for some reason...

"""brierpatch, I don't know of any color patterns in cattle that are influenced more by one parent than the other, so I doubt that Braunvieh sired calves follow the color of their sires. Just my thoughts.""" You are most likely right. I read an article on thi but was wondering how the heck...

I am new and just had my first calving season with my herd of Braunvieh. Many people talk about the mouse color but mine are all a deep dark brown. It was one of the characteristics the man who had the herd was breeding for. I plan to cross them with a black Gelbvieh or Maybe an Angus. I...
