I am thinking about using a Braunvieh bull with angus cattle. Has anyone done this and what has your outcomes been? I am new to this breed and have been doing some reading, but would like to hear from someone who has personel experience. Thanks

Maybe the this braunvieh is better on birth weight than the purebred? Based on what little I know once you get above 85 lbs in the angus/red angus/herford breeds you may be asking for trouble. My opinon.

That's OK. It's good to hear that you aren't having any calving problems.
