[QUOTE="UG, post: 1060064, member: 714"] Some producers are attempting to keep their herds 50% Continental (Simmental, Gelbvieh, etc) and 50% Angus. There are several reasons for doing this, including the increased efficiency of good crossbred cows, and capturing the growth and muscling of Continentals, while still producing adequate marbling from the Angus component. I know of a couple large, progressive operations that are using SimAngus and Balancers to accomplish this. They breed their SimAngus sired females to Balancers, and vice versa. This allows them to maintain the 50% Continental/50% Angus while still capturing some heterosis from the inclusion of both Simmental (SimAngus) and Gelbvieh (from Balancers). Inyati13, you may want to consider this strategy as you determine how to incorporate Gelbvieh into your herd. [/QUOTE]
