Text Box: Why are Gelbvieh cross heifers the choice of so many successful commercial cattlemen?

Data from the Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) confirm the unmatched performance of Gelbvieh-sired females for maximum pounds of weaning weight per cow exposed.  Many Continental breeds produce good feeder cattle, but fall short in maternal traits when it comes to working in the pasture.  MARC research along with the experience of commercial cattlemen proves that Gelbvieh-cross females excel in fertility, milking ability, disposition, and pounds of calf weaned. This unique combination make Gelbvieh the Continental Breed of Choice if you want to keep replacements while still producing high-value feeder cattle.
Text Box: November 1, 2006-
