[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 841325, member: 16842"] Just wanted people to know that I have had Gelbvieh / Hereford cross cattle to begin with and bought them because I wanted cattle that I didn't have to worry about my children (10 and 9) at the time coming in contact with. Of course the Hereford breed was a given but the Gelbvieh cross was an unknown. The four cows we started with are now 4 1/2 years old and are extremely tame we are able to walk out into the pasture and pet them. The offspring are out of a purebred Gelbvieh and are even more gentle. We purchase two full blood heifers last September which were May calves brought them in off of a 850 acre pasture with minimal contact with people and they were halter broke in less than two weeks (they were approximately 350 - 400 lbs.). I have yet to have the first calving problem though we breed AI and select easy calving sires for the heifers. I have stayed with the red sires as I am partial to reds but I'm told the black Gelbvieh are just as gentle. [/QUOTE]
