[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1692444, member: 12607"] They're great cattle. I waited way too late in my 'career' to finally get around to using some Braunvieh sires - I'd wanted to for 20 years... just hadn't gotten around to it. Our herd was mostly 3/4AN-1/4SM, but had a few halfblood Shorthorns in the mix, and red-carrier cows from the Simmental bulls several generations back. Over homo black cows, most calves were black, but on reds or red-carriers, I got brindles and a few wild-colors. The steers were fantastic, but if they weren't black, they got the expected dock at the salebarn. Kept all the heifers except 2 sired by a bul known for passing on some 'heat', and those two left as yearlings because of docility issues; all others were dog-gentle. Only calved out one flight of halfblood heifers before we sold out, but they were doing a great job with their calves. You could do a whole lot worse than a Braunvieh bull over a bunch of black cows. I really liked my brindles & wild-color cows better than the blacks. [/QUOTE]
