Andrew you may have seen Gelbviehs and not realised it. There is some at Glen Aplin not far from your property. They look a bit like Limousin,Blonde Aquitane etc. They haven't really taken off in Australia. They are too high maintenance, they need good feed, calving difficulties were a problem. Entrepreneurs off loaded them onto unsuspecting buyers who crossed them over every thing large and small. We used them and found their temperament a problem and were always the first to crack up when things got tough. We had a small pure herd and crossed them over South Devons and Brahmans those crosses were good.
Getting back to the picture the calf is a beauty.
