[QUOTE="UG, post: 367109, member: 714"] Hoss, We've been using Gelbvieh genetics (via AI) for over ten years. Relative to most other continental breeds I would say that Gelbvieh are easier calving. If my memory is correct, I believe that research at the Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) confirms this. However, the average Gelbvieh bull is not as easy calving as the average Angus bull. From our experiences with birth weights of the two breeds, I feel that the MARC values for comparing Angus and Gelbvieh are pretty accurate. If you are going to breed your Angus heifers via AI, a few easy calving Gelbvieh bulls to consider are Bennett Hallmark, Atlas, and Extra. You'll give up some muscle and performance relative to the average Gelbvieh bull, but that is typical of nearly all calving ease bulls.[/img] [/QUOTE]
