[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 139822, member: 2095"] Maybe it is just where I am; but it looks to me like Gelbviehs are decreasing in popularity. We had a really nice Gelbvieh breeder (90 cows) who turned commercial here. If you look at the bull studs websites....Genex is only marketing three Gelbviehs and they have 87 Angus, 36 Red Angus, 12 Herefords, and 45 Simmentals. Select Sires has 40 Angus, 12 Red Angus, 6 Herefords and NO Gelbviehs (though I am sure your rep can get you red or Black Gelbviehs). ABS has 15 Gelbviehs and 100+ Angus, 30 Red Angus, and 12 Herefords. Bovine Elite has 100 plus Angus, 45 Red Angus, 22 Herefords, and no Gelbviehs in it's 25 breed lineup that includes Braford, Romagnola, Senepol, and 26 Red Branguses. Topsires.com is selling 123 Three way cross bulls but no straight Gelbviehs anymore. Maybe Gelbvieh has somebody like Reed Enterprises (in Herefords) who has a huge share of the between breeder business that I don't know about; but just from what I see and read it looks like Gelbvieh popularity is decreasing. Of course now that the Gelbvieh cross calves and cows look like Angus cross cows and calves I probably see a lot more Gelbviehs than I think I do; but again...it looks like Charolais and Simmental have firmly established themselves as the two big dogs amoung the Continental breeds.
