A Great 3 way cross

[3waycross]

One of my favorite cows. She is 1/2 Gelbvieh and 1/2 Shorthorn. The calf is out of a red balancer bull...RA/GV
So he is 1/2 GV 1/4 SH and 1/4 RA. If i had to guess i would say he will go about 750. The cow is a frame score 5 and weighs about 1300 lbs in good shape.

That is my buddy's ranch. He put a Gelbvieh bull on a very inbred SH herd 7 years ago, then a RA for 3 years and now is running red balancers bulls and now has a great herd of cows. Moderate, great dispositions and efficient cows. This girl is definately the fatty of the bunch and raises a great calf every year. Sadly has never given him a heifer. I usually sell him a balancer heifer or two every year.
