[QUOTE="CattleAnnie, post: 152127, member: 220"] For what it's worth, we've had straight bred Fleck's for cows, Fleck/Ang cross cows and they've been very easy keeping cows and productive. Good milkers and throw thickbacked calves. Really made some dandies. Also had some Fleckvieh linebred (right terminology?) bulls, and they sure made some cracking calves on our cows. Of course, it always helps whatever you're crossing to have quality animals on both the dam and sire side if you're going to be producing quality calves. No matter what breed you're working with. Not trying to put a dog into the fight, but figured that seeing as an opinion on Flecks was asked for, might as well offer one as far as experience with them goes. This being said, I sure do like the Fleckvieh lines as opposed to the monster framed things my Dad was raising in his purebred Simmental operation about fifteen years ago. Talk about turnip teated, two thousand pound gigantic cows! Overall they were quiet cattle, but must have been a pain for anyone in the feedlot to finish their calves and try to make a buck on them after feedcosts and time filling up a pen were figured into the equation. Take care. [/QUOTE]
