Well I managed to add another 15 Braunvieh Cows to my herd. These ladies are actually part of the original herd I bought my first 9 from and bred to the same bull that I purchased with my first 9. The owner of these passed away and the wife wanted to sell. She called original owner and he put her in touch with me. So I jumped at the deal after preg check and all confirmed. So I now have 24 cows from the original herd of 70.
So my herd is growing nicely if not maybe a little faster than I planned but all is well. I can't wait for the spring calving to begin. I am thinking in a couple of years about breeding them to a black gelbvieh. What do you guys think about this cross ?
One of the things I like about my groups is they are all the dark brown color and not the light brown you see in the breed as well. So shouldn't be to hard to get some Black calves out of these cows with a good black bull.
