[QUOTE="bandit80, post: 559506, member: 7956"] When I was a young lad and in 4-H, I bought my first Gelbvieh cow/calf pair. My brother had bought a Geblvieh heifer for his 4-H project, and I guess I just followed suit. Alot has changed since I bought that cow in 1988! Gelbvieh had calving problems, and most were blond/light red, but brought milk, muscling, motherability to the table. I have since crossed most of my cattle to be 25-75% Gelbvieh and 25-75% Angus. I like the Gelbiveh/Angus cross to make balancers. The Gelbvieh breed has made great strides in reducing calving difficulties. They balancers make heavy muscled calves that have the carcass traits to hit the grid, and heavy milking, fertile females to put back in the herd. I do have a few purebred Gelbviehs as I try to market a few purebred bulls. [/QUOTE]
