[QUOTE="Mr. Greenjeans, post: 1483210, member: 7085"] 1. MARC data shows Gelbvieh have one of the fastest (possibly greatest) rate of growth from birth to weaning 2. Most breeds have increased mature size while Gelbvieh cattle are more moderate in size than other continentals and some British breeds. Our cows are 1250 and bulls around 1900 lbs. 3. Only Hereford have been shown to be more docile overall. 4. A terminal and maternal breed that allows for retaining heifers. 5. One of the largest ribeye in the industry but not known for marbling. 6. Commonly available as homozygous black and polled to allow for retaining heifers that will fit in appearance with the ideal phenotype that many producers want to see in their pasture. 7. Concerns are too much milk for some environments and too much growth for some cows that can't handle the milking needs of their high EPD growth calves. We have used PB Gelbvieh bulls on Angus and Brangus with resulting calves in the 65-75 pound range. Those same Gelbvieh bulls on PB Gelbvieh cows yield calves that run about 10 pounds heavier at birth on average. Overall the Gelbvieh we have had have been extremely gentle other than one that we culled for poor disposition. Very good growth trait heterosis with Angus based cattle (which is a common claim with most continental breeds).
