[QUOTE="norriscathy, post: 155366, member: 2961"] We started with black Angus cattle 30 years ago. Blacks just did not do well here. With only 100 or cows we had almost 20 babies on bottles at one time. Calves just not strong. Found one of our Gelbviehs dead with prolapse one morning. Ten minutues later we found a newborn calf chasing the four wheeler looking for something to eat. Love the vigor of the calves. When we first started thing about cross breeding several years ago; we bought 2 red agus bulls from Leachman. The bulls were so wild we could barely get them off the truck. Never could clam them done. Shipped them to the sale barn without ever letting them breed a cow. Angus in general just seem a lot more flighty than Gelbvieh. The vet complains that the Gelbvieh are too calm, he can't get them through the chute fast enough! [/QUOTE]
