The following table is the result of recent research from MARC when Gelbvieh are compared with all other major breeds of cattle in the USA.
TRAIT | GELBVIEH RANK |
Pounds Weaned per cow exposed | Highest |
Milk Yield | 2nd Highest |
Percent Born Unassisted | 2nd Highest |
Weaning Weight | Highest |
Yearling Weight | 2nd Highest |
Percent Retail Yield | 2nd Highest |
Scrotal Circumference | Highest |
Cow Size | Lowest |
Gelbvieh cross extremely well with other breeds as Gelbvieh bring fertility, milk, reduced cow size, pounds of calf, good disposition and optimum birth weight to the equation. This is one of the reasons why we raise Gelbvieh/Black Angus Balancer bulls.
