According to the Meat Animal Research Center, Gelbvieh is the only breed
that reduced mature cow size in its germplasm study between 1973 and 2004.
-
Crossbreeding with Gelbvieh results in cows that are 30% more productive
over their lifetime due to increased fertility , weaning weights, and cow
longevity. MARC data shows crossbred cows stay in the herd an average of
1.9 years longer, reducing replacement cost.
- In the
most recent MARC evaluation, Gelbvieh sired calves had the lowest birth
weights of the four major continentals and tied for the top survivability
to weaning of all breeds.
