What are balancer bulls?

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.
