Which cattle breed originates from Germany and is associated with coat colors such as reddish gold, russet, or black and high milk quality?

• A. Limousine
• B. Gelbvieh
• C. Piedmontese
• D. Angus

Answer: (B)

Gelbvieh fits because it is a German-origin cattle breed whose name means “yellow cattle.” It is known for coat colors from reddish gold to russet, with black seen in some individuals, and it has a reputation as a dual-purpose breed with strong milk production. The other breeds come from other countries and don’t match both the German origin and the described color range paired with high milk quality.
