This book is my favorite all around Grass-Fed cattle management book. I have never been able to determine beyond a shadow of a doubt what kind of cows are on the cover. Can anyone say for sure? Here is the Amazon link in case anyone wants a closer look. Grass-Fed Cattle: How to Produce and...

It is a bit disapointing to know that people are useing other then Dutch Belted Bulls on Dutch Belted cows. If you look at the Dutch Belted website http://www.dutchbelted.com/Breeding%20Up.html you will read that becouse of the shortage of pure Dutch Belted cows, crossing of DB's should be...

Dutch Belted cows are rare, some say less then 300 cows left in the US. I would say 90% of the time, if you are looking at a "belted cow" its a Belted Galloway. Some 200+ years ago people started useing Dutch belted bulls on Galloway cows to add milk production to a beef cow, this is the birth...

She looks like a good cow, but I support Tn on this one. When your calf crop is uniform you will know you made the right call. Jason

I cant say I know anyone near you, much less with cows. I do have an idea that may work for you. I knew a guy one time in a spot like yours, he ended up with a big farm and no cows. he let 3 other guys bring in there cows and he managed them for the owners. It seems to me if your land can...

I am by no means saying they should change the breed standard, by the time you put 6 generations of Dutch Belted bulls on almost any cow I would assume it should meet the breed standard. I was just thinking that with the Gelbvieh mother cows producing a good amout of milk and being much better...

Has anyone ever seen a Dutch Belted Bull used on Gelbvieh cows before? The Dutch Belted cows are so rare it seems hard to string together a large herd. The Dutch Belted Cattle Association of America has a breeding up program, but you can only use "dairy" cows to breed up. I think the Gelbvieh...

I would go for the Angus or Gelbvieh bull, even another Angus/Gelbvieh bull would work well. Do you already have a bull? What kind of bulls will be cheep and easy to get your hands on? How many cows did you pick up? (buying vs renting) When I have searched for Gelbvieh replacements it seems...
