We have some Pinzgauer cows that are currently bred to a Black Angus bull. The calves are due in March. Does anyone know what we can expect from this cross?

Should be some good calves. That's a cross we had played with, but the dock on striped backed calves in this area just kills you. No matter what, they think they are Longhorns, and Longhorns don't sell worth squat here.

The calves from our Longhorns don't bring much here, either. No matter what we've crossed them with. Probably should have gotten rid of them a few years back, but they never have trouble calving and they are good mothers.
Do you think any heifers from the Pinzgauer X Angus cross would be worth keeping? Or will the Pinzgauer pattern continue to show up?

The pattern will continue to show up but maybe with some variation. It's a darn shame too that they're docked so bad. If you can find someone that is raising freezer beef and sell them private treaty that would be the way to go. Depending on where you are, there may be a marketing alliance that has a group of people that cow-migle calves, sorts them and feeds them out and sells in a group to a feedlot. I can't explain it all that well, but the attached site is the alliance we are in. We get some of the darndest looking calves, but as long as they meet the criteria they sell well as a group. We had a bunch of Maine crosses that were marked like Holsteins, large frame, #1 muscle, gained like crazy while getting ready for the feedlot. In a normal auction they probably would have gotten docked, sold right along with all the others, no problems.

you should bred them with a Red Angus you will keep the Red of Pinzgauer too, even you will have the white merkings of it, really sounds good cross, their heifers should be good replacements and you will have excelent steers

We have two red & white. Do you usually use Angus, or have you used other bulls with her?

> I raise Pinzgauers in Minnesota and have bred them to a variety of breeds. The black or yellow (gelbvieh) cross calves seem to sell the best. When the market is high they bring as much as the angus. When the market is low they seem to dock you 5 cents a pound.
