looking for Gelbvieh in NY

[nagwag]

I have a couple of neighbors looking for Gelbvieh. One wants a bull, the other is looking for some cows / heifers. Anyone know someone that breeds them? I'm Simmental & Angus. Located in Steuben county. Even northern PA would be ok. Thanks.

Get another roll or two of barbwire while you're at it so you can make the fence higher......

Nothing positive to say keep your mouth shut, the OP didnt ask anything other than if anyone knew breeders in NY.
Nagwag this should get you pointed in the right direction https://gelbvieh.org/membership/memberdirectory

The gentle breathe of G-d doth make the aspen quake and stir the water upon the lake.
Your propensity for rancor and my experience is unrefuteable acknowledgement of the veracity of the statement.

I don't know of any GV breeders in NY. I have a Simmental breeder that also has some GV's in MA if you want their contact info, I can PM you.
Sorry, but I did have to laugh at LVR's comment.

Are Gelbvieh known to be fence jumpers?

In my part of the world they are known to be amongst the quietest of breeds.

I don't know how they are NOW. But, when Simmental Assn. was started, they chose the different "strains" of Simmental (Like Fleckvieh) to be added into the data base. They refused to allow the GV into the association because of temperament. I would "assume" they have worked on that problem. I just don't get any exposure to any.

The Gelbviehs did well for us, don't have nothing bad to say about them. Matter of fact I liked the gelbvieh - simmental crossed calves as well as our gelbvieh - red poll calves. Limousin has been the worse disposition cattle here. But every breed has them. I'd contact the American Gelbvieh Association. David Slaughters with Slaughter Sale Management might could hook you up with a breeder up there. 270-556-4259

Doesn't Nesi run Gelbviehs? His cattle seem pretty calm to me. I know im not going to try and stand on my bull anytime soon.

My seven Gelbvieh cows are the quietest in my herd. I pulled a calf from one in the middle of a pasture. I know it's a small sample size but the craziest I've seen in alberta is Limo and Saler.

I've been raising Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle for several years now, and in my experience LVR's insinuation is not accurate of the breed as a whole.

We purchased our first Gelbviehs in 1996 and have had them ever since. As others have commented, there are flighty cattle in every breed, including Gelbvieh. However, overall our experience with them is that they are quiet cattle. I have heard several times that Gelbvieh have been known as an "old man's breed" due to their quiet nature. When we are working cattle, we frequently have to twist tails, and push our Gelbviehs to get them to move through the alley and into the chute (sometimes wish they had a little more fire in them just to get them to move easier

We just released semen on this bull in the US, unfortunately he sold out in less than 24 hours.

I've found my Gelbvieh to be the most reliably docile breed yet.. I found my limos would spook, or they'd hate you for a month if you did so much as scold them
Where you get them from is evidently going to be a big factor, my local GV breeder manages their herd like I do, when I went to buy my heifer calf from them I had to tail their cows to get them to move.. If you want a breed that's hard on fences, get an angus, Salers aren't hard on fences, they clear them just fine

Here's that calf I bought, now 3 years old
