[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 685758, member: 5106"] Well , my main breed of choice is Holsteins but dairy is out of the question from now on and I am left with only a few flush cows and will not add any new ones. They are so very intelligent and if handled from day one are very gentle. I love the color patterns on them as well. For beef as most know it is Red Gelbvieh and after doing research on the breed when I first saw them on a trip to Germany I was so taken with them that I had to find out as much as I could about them. Turns out they were just starting to get going in North America and in the the last 5 years the movement has sky rocketed. There are Gelbvieh influenced herds everywhere around here so I guess others see what I see in them and the feed lots love them. I love all good cattle and I love looking at them in the pastures and when people post pics of them. If I could I would have a herd of each. :) But, because I know that you can be mediocre at many things and great at one it is best to concentrate on one only and make it the very best possible. So I will stick with my Gelbvieh's and continue AI'ing as many as possible each year and hopefully in the future breeders will be using my genetics to AI in their herds. [/QUOTE]
