One last bull. Seriously.

OK, I know you all are sick and tired of my questions and tangents by now, but I really value your guys' opinions. Local breeder, black, Gelbvieh, and $20 a pop. Two months into the breeding season. Workin' Clothes.

If you could shrink his head about 3 sizes he might be okay. There is something about Gelbvieh heads that don't appeal to me. Just my opinion.

Looks like your search may be over :clap: . Cowwrangler is right, Balancers do make great females... I started crossing Gelbvieh bulls on Weaver Angus females a few years ago, and they've turned into a great cross. I've used Balancers on my angus-cross cows, and have gotten nice calves... don't seem to look too Gelbvieh (yep Big Swede, I hate the head too, but the calves seem to lose it), and a bit thicker than straight angus :wink: . Also, you get some great hybrid vigor working for you.

Some of these heifers are on my "First Day Feeding..." post from earlier this week if you want to take a peek :D .

Good luck!

Well thank you all! Yep, I thought them was some fine heifers that you had WR. Thanks for the feedback. I think I have my bull. Again. :wink:

Well, I hope to shout he's got a tattoo! :D Nope, no "ear ornament". Maybe he's got an eyebrow piercing? Perhaps one in the belly button?

I don't know if that is really a fair shot of his head.

The bottom pic shows he has some neck and is fairly smooth.
:)

Thanks BMR. I really don't think he's all too bad up front for being a Gelbvieh.
