[QUOTE="ROB, post: 326630, member: 3467"] Ryan- I have been breeding braunvieh for the past 5 or so years. The braunvieh cattle exhibit a lot of natural thickness which is what caught my attention. In my own experience, they typically will yield grade 2 with some 1's and 3's. I've never had a yg 4 as of yet. Ribeyes are typically large and IMF is quite good. Backfat is generally 0.25 or less. Feed conversion on my calves has been very acceptable. Very little problems with foot rot, bad eyes or flies. Full bloods are horned and will look similar to the brown swiss (in color only), while the purebreds can be black and polled. Disposition and mothering ability of my cows is excellent. Contrary to Dun's experience, I have had very few calving problems. My biggest problem was taking the beating at the salebarn for off colored cattle. Had to find alternative marketing plan or turn my cattle black. ROB [/QUOTE]
