What you didn't mention in that statement cowdirt is that not everyone has bad things to say about gerts.
I have talked to people in Indiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, all over! That had GREAT things to say about Gerts! The only thing that people have really said about gerts is about them havin ear, well so do brangus their buddy and beefmaster and tons of other cattle around here whoo hoo! Gerts are better than most all breeds. I mean really how long have all these other breeds been around and who was the first first four star breed for marbling and tenderness? Really think about that.
