[QUOTE="Lngvew, post: 123151, member: 1447"] I am not a fan of the gelbveigh (?) for a couple of reasons. First, they are not good freezer beef based on my experience. We went thru a couple that did not make the cut at a local bull test station. Meat was very lean and tough. Second and most important to me, I bought 10 red/black angus cows. 4 of them were AI'ed to a Gelbveigh bull out of a well know herd and advertised as an easy calver with super growth numbers. Well my son pulled all 4 calves (the little one was 94lbs. and a heifer) He did good and saved all the calves. We weaned on 9/3 and those 4 avg. 302 lbs. (born late march/weaned early sept.) Other 6 (out of a Red x Blk Angus Bull that were the same age) avg. 395lbs. The 20 purebred Char.(mid april to early May) avg. 428 lbs. All in the same pasture. May not be typical but my experence.
