I have never crossed these 2 breeds, but I think it would depend on what your focus is.
If you are looking for an improvement in performance (WW, YW) then, yes I think they would help you improve those traits. You will however get some increase in MM, BW and a decrease in calving ease. The PBSM will also increase REA, decrease BF and IMF and possible SHR.
If you are looking for better carcass merits, then either Red or Black Angus would be your best bet, but you will decrease your performance traits (WW,YW).
Perhaps a Sim /Angus would be more beneficial to you as it would further potential "good traits" via Hybrid Vigor in a 3-waycross.

Anyone ever cross Gelbvieh with Simmental? I've been thinking about whether that is just as feasible as crossing Angus/Red Angus with either of these two. Thoughts anyone?
