[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 629367, member: 6713"] Daniel. that's code for buy Angus they are the everyting breed; don't need no mo! DOWN Frankie, I was just teasing. :cowboy: Seriously Daniel one of the most complimentary crosses is Gelbvieh/Angus. So if you want to look at Red cows in the pasture buy Red Gelbvieh cows and do like Dun said breed them to BLACK angus bulls and you get the best of both worlds, cows you like to look at and calves that will bring 10cents more at the sale barn. The other option is; if it's easier to find RA cows than Red Gelbvieh in your area buy commercial RA cows and put a Homozygous Black Gelbvieh bull on them with the same result. BTW that bull will be most likely 94% pure Gelbvieh and 6% BLK Angus, which is not enuf to screw up the heterosis of the crossbreed. Be advised tho that when that bull finishes breeding your cows he will most likely jump the fence and breed all of your neighbors cows also. We don't call them Elkvieh around here for nothing. Had a 1200lb RED gelbvieh heifer who's 8mo3wks pregnant jump a 5' fence last night cuz she didn't want to be separated from the other cows. THEY CAN JUMP OR, breed em all RED and forget it. Either way you are right to look for hybrid vigor for marketing commercial calves. [/QUOTE]
