[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 850323, member: 16842"] We show Gelbvieh, Which I feel is a great breed for Southern Indiana. The one's that the kid's show are Fullbloods which could provide a source of genetics in the future for crosses. We have some brood cows which are a cross from a purebred Gelbvieh and a registered polled herefords from the Sherman farm and they are extremely gentle and excellent mothers. On the auction at the fair it was disappointing. I didn't attend but the Grand Champion was a beautiful shorthorn and it only brought $1,900.00 and to prove that it's who you know other steers brought $2,500.00 to $3,600.00. Overall I have noticed that the county fairs in general have had diminished numbers over the past several decades. I myself am not a fulltime farmer but am trying to familiarize my children with cattle. [/QUOTE]
