[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 790553, member: 13182"] The original Braunvieh is a great cattle breed that could have taken off in North America. The importers of these cattle were a group of German Swiss brothers George and Martin Urlich that raised Horned Herefords with their other brother Hans at Claresholm (Lilydale Herefords). They brought over Aron the first OB bull imported. These brothers were descended from a long line of stockmen in Switzerland and their family owned the imports they brought over so they had an advantage as they knew all about the animals pedigrees-a big advantage. Check out the story on their website: [url=http://www.original-braunvieh.com/]http://www.original-braunvieh.com/[/url]. Makes for interesting reading. The problem the Braunvieh faced was that they never developed a domestic market for their bulls. When they got a good one they usually sold him to Mexico. I don't think I could by a set of 10 uniform Braunvieh yearling bulls of acceptable quality at any price right now. A sad state of affairs in my opinion. The Braunvieh has performance similar to a Fleckvieh; Birth Weights can be high. They also can be very heavy fronted. That said they also had some outstanding individuals like Swiss Tradition Ricco. Check him out on the Urlich's website. When they say he was the world's best they weren't kidding. [/QUOTE]
