[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 5789"] The "don;t grade well" comment needs some clarification. They don;t "quality grade particularly well", the ratio of lean to fat is too high to be considered very well marbled. The do Marble but not like the british breeds. They "Yield grade" very well, because ofthe muscle to fat relationship. F1 Gelbvieh and british are excellent mother cows, but they are more often "select" then choice grade. But using those F1s bred to an angus make excllent feeder steers, relatively high yield grade, and the majority will make middle to high choice. The key, as in any crossbreeding program is starting with quality animals that have the properties you are looking for in the end result. dun > Indian: You stated they "grow > quickly" "lean and > muscular carcasses", but is > the fat marbled?
