[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 1484094, member: 6713"] 30 seconds and a $2 shot at weaning is a small price to pay for the increased fertility in the GV crossbred heifers. AS WITH ALL BREEDS there are individuals in the GV breed that will have disposition issues. I run my cows with an Angus breeder who runs approx. 150 Registered and commercial cows and a few Limo crosses. We work those calves at least 4 to 5 time between birth and one year and I can tell you for a fact that my Cows and their calves ALL have better exit speeds than that Angus cowherd. I cull relentlessly for disposition and it shows. I have had a couple of yearling bulls fall out for disposition and with one exception they go to work for McDonalds asap. The exception went to Wyoming where he will probably only see one more human in his whole life...the one who hauls him to the processor in 5 years. BTW Aaron one of the best if not the best crosses for GV's is a Hereford...and being the nice guy I am I won't mention all of the things that they fix on a Hereford.LOLOL ;-) [/QUOTE]
