"Gelbvieh (say Gelp-fee) originated in Bavaria, in southern Germany in the late 18th and early 19th century. They were first imported into the US in 1971. The classic color is yellow, but some are reddish or black.
Gelbvieh calves are widely recognized for excellence in growth, feedlot efficiency, muscling and marketability, while Gelbvieh females are known for milking ability, fertility and quiet temperament."

We have been very pleased with calving ease, milk production, gentleness and the wonderful meat. We are expanding our herd slowly. Next year's calves will be out of Collateral. Do not know if we will start a second herd or sell all his calves. We will not be able to even guess at that until the babies hit the ground.
Here is how Den finally got them tricked into the new pasture. They weren't falling for the sack, or the calling, the feed trough was the only thing that convinced them to move.
