[QUOTE="cattleman99, post: 802797, member: 14530"] I think it's important to note that while there are getting to be more and more Fleckvieh sires that are non diluters it isn't something real common in the breed. The polled gene has also been introduced through a few mutation cattle over the years out of both Germany and Canada. They originated out of Austria and Germany and where bred heavy in Canada through the late 80's and into the 90's with a lot of breeders importing embryo's and semen out of Austria and Germany. Then the South African Fleckvieh's were introduced at a later date. The South Africans were originally German genetics at some point in the past. They have greatly improved there calving ease in the past 15-20 years but are a different type of cattle in that heavier fronts don't necessarily translate in calving issues. I don't mean super heavy front ends but a little more than what most North Americans are used to seeing. [/QUOTE]
