[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 597063, member: 2383"] We've been using a gelbvieh bull on one set of cows for a couple years now and I'm sold on the breed. Bought a simmi bull at the same time and ran him on another set to compare calves. The simmi bull hit the road a couple months ago and we're going to get another gv bull, maybe a balancer. As far as disposition, our gv bull is as calm as our horned herf bull, you can walk up and scratch both of them. We went and looked at a group of gv and balancer bulls a couple days ago. The balancers I've seen (never owned one) have more attitude than the straight gv, more like an angus. In your situation with straight english cattle I'd prefer a pb gelbvieh over a balancer, but to each his own. Don't know how far you're willing to travel, but Knoll Crest Farm in Red House, VA, is having their bull sale the first Friday in December. They've got some of the nicest gv and balancers I've seen, as well as herfs and angus. [/QUOTE]
