I've found a semi local Gelbvieh/Balancer breeder. We've spoken several times & I'm headed out to his farm in a couple of weeks to look at his herd & perhaps purchase a few. In general I know what to look for but is there anything specific to Gelbviehs I need to keep a special eye out for? Also any thoughts good bad or ugly on the Gelbvieh breed?
I intended to buy some Herefords & cross them to a Gelbvieh bull but after visiting several local farms I just really wasn't overly impressed with anything I saw so I decided to look into gerting some Gelbvieh females & see if I couldn't find a little more quality cattle. Plus I won't have to worry about pink eye or eye cancer, though that wasn't a major concern it is one less thing. Anyway thanks in advance for your input.
