Welcome
Hillsdown Gelbvieh is very pleased to present to you our first ever bull catalog. When we started our herd almost 20 years ago our focus was on foundation females and throughout the years the upmost importance has been placed on careful selection of genetics, phenotype and EPD’s. This has resulted in a herd of cows with phenomenal maternal qualities that can perform in the most dismal of circumstances. That was proven again in 2018 during a second consecutive drought year. Our females posted impressive weaning weights despite the lack of good pasture and maintained good shape for January calving. Our bull pen is in a 15 acre grassy paddock where they must walk up and downhill many times a day for water and feed. They are pail fed a specifically tailored bull ration along with free choice hay, with shelter and ample bedding which is an absolute necessity during this brutal and unforgiving winter. We feel that this selection of red and black purebred Gelbvieh bulls, packed with Dam of Merit and Distinction pedigree’s, will fill the need for any situation, from calving ease to low birth weights to performance. We want our bulls to work for you and earn their keep by producing great genetics, be it terminal for the feedlot or replacements and herd builders. There is something here for everyone, from the discerning commercial producer to the purebred breeder looking for his next herdsire. 2019 is going to be a year of new experiences for Hillsdown Gelbvieh. We have our first bull in exportable AI service with HDG Hillsdown Finnegan 4F who is currently calling Alta Genetics his home. We also have started our embryo program with donor cows HDG Candy Girl 13C, HDG Avery 13D (Finnegan’s Dam) and HDG Baylee 14B (Avery’s Dam). Please give us a call or stop by and visit, we would love to talk about cattle with you. The coffee is always hot, the beer is always cold and there is always something tasty being prepared in the Hillsdown kitchen. Delivery is available, bulls have been DNA tested for parentage and Homozygous polled and will be semen tested by a certified veterinarian. In closing, we would like to thank everyone that showed interest in our cattle at Farmfair International, The Gelbvieh Wish List and the Medicine Hat pen show. It was a truly humbling experience and validated all of our hard work over the years. Thanks everyone!

Thick is a good word to use when discussing Atticus a JRI Home Brew son, he is all that and more. He is very moderate framed but is as wide as he is deep, with a ton of muscle. Harper Lee HDG 28D is out of a very maternal and performance cow family going back to HDG Katy 44W. 25F has a ton of curly dark red hair and would make a phenomenal heifer bull without sacrificing those very important WW numbers.

Don’t be discouraged by his 88% or very slight scurrs because this Dam of Merit son has performance stamped all over him. He is long with tremendous hip, phenomenal bone, strides easy and is laid back with an excellent disposition. Fuzzie is going to cover a lot of ground and a lot of females as a yearling bull for you.

Homo polled, Fozzie is sired by DL 18D and his dam Katey HDG 44W is the Great Grand Dam of HDG Finnegan 4F. We have high expectations of this bull, he has a thick wooly coat and is as wide as he is deep. If you want to add rib score and top width in your calves then this is the guy for you. Fozzie is halter broke with or without a halter, and is as gentle as a lap dog.

His sire is CES Decka Roadie out of the the very well known SLC Roadhammer and sire to the great SLC Road Trip bull. Forty’s dam GSW Alright Gal A2 (Dam is Merit) was our 2014 WishList bred heifer purchase and has done everything we thought she would, from producing a Grand Champion 4H heifer and in 2017 her son won Reserve Champion bull at The Westerner Days. Possibilities are endless with Forty Creek and we have no doubt he will add great things to any herd.

One needs to appreciate the planning and commitment that has gone into a breeding program that offers genetics like Fraggel. His maternal Grand Dam is a 4 time Dam of Distinction and his sire (Astro son) is a sibling to HDG 13C Candy Girl. Fraggel is one of a kind and our only Bucky son we have for offer as sadly we lost Bucky early winter 2017 to a broken leg. This guy definitely is a herd builder.

Another power-bull going back to a Matriarch cow family. Full Throttle’s dam Lady Legacy 2Y is sired by Ozz Ideal Direction and a daughter of SLC Lady Lisa. Lisa was here at the ranch until 15 years of age and produced a great calf for us every year, so longevity is definitely bred into this family. Combine that with the powerful genetics of Jen-Ty Dynamite and you get an awesome performance bull.

WOW, here is a performance bull for you. His name is Freight Train for a reason, a hetero black Dynamite son out of Dam of Merit HDG Ivy 25A. With a 110 pound birthweight this tank is not recommended for use on heifers however he will produce some power when bred to your mature cows. Lots of hair, great bone and an incredible set of legs wth big sound feet under him, this bad boy is sure to cover a lot of area and cows come breeding season.

If you are looking for a bull that has it all and wrapped in an incredibly attractive package, look no further. Fat Tire is a son out of our 4 time Dam of Distinction cow HDG Miss Fine Lady 2T. This cow is an extraordinary bull maker and did she ever knock it out of the park with this one. By far the youngest bull in the pen, “FT” packs a lot of beef on a moderate frame. He is thick and wide from front to back, soggy, hairy and as surefooted as they come. He had our attention the minute he hit the ground, you could see right then that this was going to be a good one and is he ever.

It says a lot about your herd when your females have better EPD’s than one of the most popular and successful AI sires. This big guy has it all, not a corner on him, he has a ton going on and all of it is extraordinary. If you are looking to add some depth and soften up coarse females he will do that for you and so much more. SELLING FULL POSSESSION, 1/2 SEMEN INTEREST.
