GelbviehAnswer 2:Yeah, no (to the answer above). The answer is Angus, not Gelbvieh. Angus is the top breed in the US of A, not Gelbvieh.
Both.
Historically, yes. A lot of Gelbvieh found in North America today are not purebred, but mostly straight-breds or fullblood cattle: this simply means there are other breeds infused into this breed, but the breed itself is 3/4 to 15/16 or more Gelbvieh. However, you will find purebred Gelbvieh in other parts of the world, like in their home country of Germany, in Australia, and in South Africa. There possibly are breeders in the US and Canada that still raise purebred Gelbviehs.
It is probably Gelbvieh, a breed of cattle from Germany. The name means yellow cow. 45,000 are in the U.S.
There is no such breed.
Balancer bulls are those bulls that are a cross between Gelbvieh and Angus/Red Angus. The Balancer breed in itself is a registered trademark of the AGA (American Gelbvieh Association) and are typically those cattle that are 1/4 to 3/4 Gelbvieh and 3/4 to 1/4 Angus or Red Angus, respectively. The cross has been developed to take advantage of heterosis resulting in the cross of the two breeds to create cattle that have excellent carcass value from Angus genetics with the high growth, leanness, muscle and high fertility typical of the Gelbvieh breed. The beauty of the SmartCross Balancers is that you can choose the amount of Gelbvieh in bulls and cows to match or improve the qualities and traits of your cowherd.

This breed was originated in Saskatchewan, Canada.

A Balancer heifer is a heifer that is made up of 1/2 Angus and 1/2 Gelbvieh, or 3/4 Angus and 1/4 Gelbvieh or 3/4 Gelbvieh and 1/4 Angus. There is no difference in what the composition of the sire or dam is, so long as one of the parents are Angus, 1/2 Angus-Gelbvieh or Gelbvieh breeding and the other a different breeding/composition of what the other parent is.
