[QUOTE="ollie', post: 165610, member: 2432"] There is not a breed X that will out preform breed Y everytime. Alot depends on the type angus you own and the type Saler bull (or Gelbvieh) bull you put on them. There is no short cut for knowing how to breed quality livestock. Epd's won't tell you , breed associations won't tell you, and I can't tell you. I have calved several hundred saler calves over the years and have rarely had calving trouble. I have never had a prolapse on a Saler cow. I have only had one calf that wouldn't suck. Those are convience traits where most Salers cows stand above the crowd .The F1 angus Saler females are fantastic. Some of the drawbacks to salers generally are similiar to Gelbvieh. They sometimes aren't smooth enough in appearence. Sometimes they are tight behind the shoulder and there are several old fashioned stringbean individuals. If you have a traditional type angus cow and a modern, moderate Saler bull I think you will be pleased with the results if you are looking for a convient type cattle that pound off at the sale barn. If your angus cattle are bigger and flatter made than most or/and if you purchase a big framed high flanked saler bull (or Gelbvieh) I think you'll be disappointed. I would research the purebred breeders in your area and see which breed offers the best seedstock for your type cattle and base my decision on that. If you like you can pm me the Saler genetics or a picture of a bull that you have in mind and possibly I can help more. [/QUOTE]
