[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 925102, member: 6713"] Do you own any Gelbvieh, have you ever owned any Gelbvieh? I have 10 straws of a bull in my tank that will throw cocker spaniel puppies with those heifers, and he is a purebred Gelbvieh. [url=http://www.flyinghgenetics.com/sires/gelbvieh/FlyingHBlackJack12L.pdf]http://www.flyinghgenetics.com/sires/ge ... ack12L.pdf[/url] ............and for the record it doesn't matter which bull you use if they are out of high birthweight cattle themselves, you will have problems. Bottom line is for me anyway. If I owned them and wanted a little more heterosis and good calving ease I would look for a balancer bull with real high calving ease and a negative birthweight. The resulting offspring would be 3/4 British 1/4 Continental. Here is the kind of EPD's you want to look for in a Balancer....[url=http://bullbarn.com/gelbepd.asp?ID=338]http://bullbarn.com/gelbepd.asp?ID=338[/url] I sold a Balancer bull this year with a -4.1 BW EPD. They are out there. [/QUOTE]
