[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1628203, member: 12607"] You're right, 76...and the Braunvieh females are functional, fertile, and have longevity. Older, long-dead sires bring a lot of performance to the table, but lots of younger Braunvieh and Braunvieh-influenced hybrids bring carcass traits comparable to noted Angus sires, probably with better ADG and YG. Took me 30 years to get to the point of saying to myself, "Dammit, I'm gonna breed some Braunvieh, black coat color be damned!" First-cross steers were great, heifers were top-rate...were turning out to be the cows I'd hoped for, when we made the tough decision to disperse. I know there's lots of Angus folks here, but it'd be hard to beat a Braunvieh sire to do what DaleL originally asked for...increase hanging carcass wt, marbling, AND make functional females...they just might not all come out black - but if he's direct-marketing freezer beef, coat color shouldn't matter.
