The Angus sired calves.
Our new Gert bull from Missouri Meadows. Levi.
Bward said:OT. Why not Gert? We've had them for 22 years and love them. Right now I have 4 Gert Bulls and the new one is going to breed all those female calves behind him in his picture. The Gert sired calves have about 150 pounds advantage on the Angus sired calves and are on 1/3 the grain.
Besides that I really like the look of them. I don't think there is a finer brood cow than a Gert cross. They have wonderful udders, are easy calving, and the brahma influence gives them a few more brains.
They are virtually no different to raise and require no more care than Angus or Simmental. Heck it was -27 this morning and none of the cattle were shivering. angus or otherwise. I can promise you that they all hate it equally. :wink:
