[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1129494, member: 9096"] I think Gelbvieh would work out well for your goals, Thick calves, and you won't be increasing the frame score... Look at 3waycross's animals, they have a lot of gelbvieh and angus influence, and I can't remember his third breed, but it could well have been simm or shorthorn. Hillsdown also has a similar breeding program with great cows. In my herd I have Shorthorn, Saler, and now Gelbvieh, with some traces of Angus and Hereford way back.. This is Caddy with her 2nd calf, she's half SH, 1/4 Saler, 1/4 Hereford, and the calf's sire is Gelbvieh [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/NewFolder238.jpg[/img] A full brother to the calf above, kept intact.. I will be seeing him tomorrow, he'll be 14 months [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/IMG_9167_zps7b3c259c.jpg[/img] Here is the sire [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/IMG_7278-crop.jpg[/img] And a particularly meaty yearling heifer, she's 1/2 sister (Gelbvieh instead of Shorthorn sired) to the first cow pictured [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/IMG_6256.jpg[/img] If you're in the black hides, they do come in black as well.. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
