So do I need to give you our website again? :) We just purchased 2 new herd sires this year that pretty much fit the mold of the perfect Gelbvieh bull in our eyes. One showed up this morning from Canada and the other will be here in a couple weeks.

Wouldn't mind having that vet assistant come out and help  ;) I'd probably need to block off half an hour a cow though :)

Nice find Zach!

I'm in, with Gonzaga taking the championship. I wanted NDSU to go all the way, but let's be realistic here. I hate to say it, but #3 Kansas will fall to North Dakota...

Is there a rule in the shorthorn that you can't have a name if another breeder has it? I know of at least 3 Tommy Boy's in the Gelbvieh breed alone...
