Performance:

Fleckvieh cattle gain weight quickly and provide added pounds at weaning and yearling when utilized alone or in cross breeding systems. Our commercial bull buyers report record increases in pounds and performance both at the salebarn and in the feedlot.

Max Heterosis

Fleckvieh genetics are bred to achieve the maximum amount of beneficial genes from their parents. When utilized in crossbreeding programs you will achieve an animal that out performs both sire and dam highlighting the positive traits of both parents.

Maternal strength

Fleckvieh and Fleckvieh cross females are excellent mothers that bred easily and produce increase milk production. These F1 females have higher conception rates throughout life as well as raising calves that can reach 60-70 percent of their own body weight at weaning.

Adaptability

Fleckvieh cattle have a diverse gene pool that makes them suitable and beneficial for many types of environments all over the world. They thrive I a variety of climates and management systems while maintaining an efficient and productive body type.

Longevity

Producers trust Fleckvieh cattle for their impressive longevity. These genetics last an average of 12-14 years while being reliable and consistent insuring long lasting economic benefits.

Carcass

Fleckvieh cattle excel in the feedlot and on the rail. They grow rapidly to an early maturity. They are medium-framed cattle, with the power to grow pounds of beef in their length, depth, volume and muscle. The Fleckvieh-cross animal will pack on extra muscle to yield well, and harvest a high quality choice carcass at 13-15 months that can easily reach higher carcass weights that the industry demands. Additionally this natural fleshing ability will achieve a higher average daily gain while reducing cost of gain!

What Ranchers Are Saying About Fleckvieh Cows

“Prior to purchasing our first Fleckvieh bull three years ago, we used Angus bulls on English-based commercial cows. The first breeding season, the calves born in January and February were Angus sired and the ones born in March and April were Fleckvieh. When we sold directly to the sale barn, the calves out of the Fleckvieh bull (two months younger than the Angus calves) weighed 150 pounds more. Since that day, we’ve been a believer and now run all Fleckvieh bulls and estimate an increased average profit of $250 per head with no other management changes. “

“I started using Fleckvieh bulls nine years ago alongside registered Angus bulls on commercial Angus/Hereford-type cows. The added growth I saw from the Fleckvieh calves was unbelievable, and since that time, I have made the switch to all Fleckvieh bulls. We are now weaning at record-high weights and are selling these calves directly to a feeder buyer who comes back year after year reporting record profits in the feedyard with almost zero death loss and health issues. Not only that, but we have started retaining females out of these Fleck bulls and found that the half-blood cows are our best mommas with excellent fertility and fleshing ability and wean off calves 50-100 pounds heavier than their straight English-based counterparts.”

“We purchase 10 Fleckvieh-sired calves each year to feed out for beef in our local feed store market! Initially we tried other breeds as well but found the Fleckvieh calves finish on average 60 days earlier when compared to other breeds. Additionally, the high-end retail cuts we sell to customers are very consistent in flavor, tenderness, and marbling and keep our customers coming back for more.”

“We’ve been using Fleckvieh/Brahman cross cattle for over 40 years. We retain our own females out of this cross that are used in our commercial herds. We believe that the F1 Fleck/Brahman is the best female on earth—not only do they consistently wean 700+ pound calves, but they do this with very minimal inputs in our dry climate and large, rough terrain pastures. All commercial Simbrah calves are sent to the feedlot and 100% ownership-retained. Over the last 30 years of obtaining carcass data, we have achieved a product that consistently grades 97% choice or higher with no yield grade 5s. Recently, with current demands, we have found these cattle can achieve up to 1700-1800 pound live weights with no health issues and still yield these high carcass standards. These results would not have been achievable without the influence of the high quality Fleckvieh/Brahman F1 cross.”

“It was exactly six years ago when the time came to purchase new bulls. Not long after that, by accident, a photo of a bull showed up on FACEBOOK. He was fantastic! I had an extreme pull to contact the man who owned him. Since then, I have purchased 10 Fleckvieh bulls from him. I use them on a variety of cows from crossbreds to continental crosses. The calves these bulls produce outgrow all the other bulls’ calves, not to mention the heifers retained from these Fleckvieh bulls. Beautiful, excellent bags and great mothers. Thank you Fleckvieh cattle for improving my herd.”
