Each cow's progeny is studiously traced back to the cow for fertility, herd stay-ability and carcass traits. Our data indicates the following:

THE CROSSBREDS
High Fertility High Adaptability Improved Structure & Soundness Improved Volume Improved Udders	Improved Longetivity Improved Marbling Improved Muscling Hybrid Vigor Moderate Mature Size

In carcass traits (marbling, rib-eye size, and backfat) the Braunvieh-sired have consistently out performed Angus-sired by 5%.

The yearly Great Western Beef Expo contest in Sterling, Colorado, consistently validates our findings and confirms the ability of the Braunvieh to develop superior carcasses with excellent efficiency.
