CROSSBRED CALVES
Updated photos,
taken January 2008, of the crossbred
calves at the Tonkin family's property at Mungindi NSW.
These include Gelbvieh x Devon, Gelbvieh x Braford,
Gelbvieh x Braham and Gelbvieh x Charbray.
Repeat buyers of Norolle
Gelbvieh bulls, Bec and Chris Tonkin
are delighted with the beautiful new Gelbvieh cross calves arriving
at their Mungindi NSW property. The calves are out of a mixed herd
of Brahman, Shorthorn, Angus and Hereford cows.
"The calves are
adorable. We are rapt with them. It's still early days
with about 55 born so far and more each day, but there is currently
about 80 - 90% Gelbvieh calves. Even the black Angus cows are
having red calves. I didn't think such a thing was possible !
The boys certainly were busy."
