[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 641999, member: 6713"] Well Linbul that last post certainly set the hair on fire of every Limo breeder here. Not that that is a problem, just an observation. About the cattle I have to agree with Dun. with your close proximity to Germany you would or should be able to get your hands on some real good Gelbvieh cows. If I were in your situation I would use Hereford( preferably polled) on the gelbvieh cows. Dispositions would be good, the hereford would help the marbling on the Gelbvieh, and the Gelbvieh would help the backfat on the Hereford. Plus I believe you would get better milk on the F-1 crosses than you would with hereford cows. If you have the forage the Gelbvieh cows should raise you some great calves from this cross. You might also consider turning an angus and a Hereford bull in with around 25 Gelbvieh cows apiece and see which calves did the best. Before you commit either way. It might also be interesting to see which one settles the most cows. I'll keep that prediction to myself [/QUOTE]
