[QUOTE="Santas and Duhram Reds, post: 407395, member: 6712"] Braunviehs are not uniform either. Color can be all over the place and many criticize them b/c they consider them to be a Brown Swiss. Sounds like you are more interested in showing than anything else. Maybe you should consider which breed offers you the most resources such as local breeder offerings, etc. Braunvieh are going to have higher calving weights, but they will also probably offer higher weaning weights. Braunvieh carcasses have performed very well in shows across America. One VERY good breeder of Braunvieh is Matt Alexander in Appleton City Missouri. I have seen his cattle and he is very much a steer man. I don't think there is a major carcass show he hasn't won. Ron McBee is another good Braunvieh breeder in Fayette Missouri. McBee can be pricey but he offers a lot of services to those who buy his cattle. He has an excellent buy back program. I just can't justify 2000 dollars on an OPEN heifer. Or at least not a Braunvieh heifer for what I would use her for. Sorry I don't know any MG breeders to refer you to. [/QUOTE]
