[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1484138, member: 1682"] The guys that ran Gelbvieh here didn't have facilities for a $2 shot and don't spend anything on drugs/vaccines as it is. Maybe could fix any problems with a regular plain-Jane Hereford. Not my Herefords. I work to keep the milk down and manageable in my Herfs, not increase it. I'll say that there was a nice boost to weaning and yearling weights with the cross, but the excitability of them in the chute (as a crossbreed, not a plain straightbred Hereford) was not something I enjoyed. Even the heifers became wackos in the chute - cool as a cucumber and like pets in the pasture, but something would snap when they hit the headgate. But I am odd, I like my cows fat, slow and steady like me. Anything with too much getup and go doesn't stick around. [/QUOTE]
