If you’re in the market for 3/4 Gelbvieh bred heifer be sure to take a look at 69D5. This heifer is angular in her lines & very feminine through her front 1/3 as well as being moderately made, deep bodied, and excellent on the move. She is going to make a great cow with tons of longevity. Be sure to check our Beenken Farms Facebook page to see updated pictures, videos, and DNA Information

If you’re looking to expand your herd look no fruther than 1D6. This 3/4 Gelbvieh female has been a stand out since a calf. I can always count on her dam to be a top producer for us. Let 1D6 do the same for you. Her dam is going to be 9 years old come this spring and still has an excellent teat & udder structure and consistently raises our biggest and best calf year after year. Just look at her younger brother that we are offering for sale as well. Be sure to check our Beenken Farms Facebook page to see updated pictures, videos, and DNA Information

We try to bring the cattle that best represent our herd to this sale every year. And every year it seems like we bring at least one out of our “Emma” cow family. Time and time again they sort themselves to the top of their respective contemporary groups for both phenotype and performance. Over the years we have raised some tremendous show heifers out of this family, some of which have sold in past Expo sales and have gone on to be tremendous cows. 6208D looks like she will continue that tradition. She was Champion in her division at the 2017 MO State Fair and was Reserve Division to the Grand Champion Balancer Female at the 2017 IA State fair. Juniors don’t forget that this year’s Jr. National Show is in Iowa. This fancy, soggy, thick heifer will be heavy bred by then and if she continues the way we think she will, she will be a contender. She is the real deal! Homozygous Black by birth, Genomic EPD’s and Homozygous Polled results will be available by sale day.

MSH Polaris 88D brings a lot of appealing things to the table. She is sired by CIBS Polar 4127B who has already left his mark at the Iowa Beef Expo by producing the 2017 high selling female from Kirkwood Community College. On the maternal side her pedigree features one of the most powerful flushes from SVVG Dream Girl P432 and Carolina Fortune. AI’ed to Schiefelbein Effective 61 and then turned out with our calving ease herd sire TAU Initiative 30C. The 30C bull produced an outstanding first calf crop for us including the 2017 ISF Reserve Champion female. Should be a win-win situation either way!

Future investment heifer with growth and eye appeal. Grand Dam is Polled Impacts full sister. Her dam has excellent udder and an excellent disposition. Also top 5% on marbeling.

On January 5th, the Gelbvieh breed lost a passionate cattleman. For the last 40 years, Frank Hayek and his family have operated FMH Gelbviehs. It was very fitting that Frank’s AGA member number was 2020, for his vision into the future of his herd was 20/20. Cattle have always been a part of Frank’s life. He grew up milking cows and eventually moved into purebred Gelbvieh cattle. From the beginning, Frank was always looking to improve the quality of cattle. He learned how to perform his own Embryo Transfer (ET) in the early 1980’s and was still doing his own ET and AI work up until his passing. Frank loved to travel to Gelbvieh sales and enjoyed talking with other breeders and learning about their programs. Over the years, he consigned many high quality bulls and females to the Iowa Beef Expo. One of his most recent sale highlights was FMH 2020 Mr At Ease 510C who now resides in Canada and is quickly gaining popularity as an AI sire. During his years of involvement in the AGA and GBOI, Frank served on the GBOI board of directors. He was always willing to share new ideas to improve the association. Frank was a man that would always lend a helping hand. He loved to serve people and always made sure there was hot coffee and donuts available at the GBOI booth. Frank was as honest as the day is long, and as humble as they come. His Gelbvieh cattle were a big part of his life, but nothing was more important to him as his Faith and his Family. Frank Hayek is a man that will be dearly missed, but his big smile and caring personality will always be remembered.

Here is an exciting heifer that you definitely won’t want to miss sale day! 704E goes back to the 7H Donor cow that we used to own with Verner Farms in Georgia. This cow family has done a great job raising bulls and females that have a cool look about them and can work for any seedstock program. 704E is a flashy, deep, moderate female that is good footed and sound as you get her out on the move. She is bound to compete in the showring and then move on to be a tremendous cow. This heifers’ first calf mother is one that we plan to flush this spring after she calves. The Arnold daughters we have in production are easy fleshing and have great udders. The “Lady A” cow family, combined with Arnold is a perfect combination in our opinion. Moderate and easy keeping, yet powerful enough with a solid EPD profile. This heifer has nothing but good days in front of her. Check her out and bid with confidence! Test results for Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled and Genomic EPD’s will be available by sale day.

Here is an exciting chance to own one of the first females out of TAU Sniper 96B who was the high selling bull at the 2015 Taubenheim Gelbvieh sale who now resides at Judd Ranch. Paris is a very attractive and stylish heifer that offers a lot of eye appeal along with a balanced EPD profile. Her O’Reilly Factor sired dam is an easy fleshing and beautiful uddered cow who is one of the favorites on the farm. Paris has caught our eye since she was young and striking the pose out in the pasture. For more information and video of CIBS Paris 7330E, visit www.cibsgelbvieh.com.

Here is a purebred open heifer that I think can work for just about anyone. She offers a solid EPD profile, especially in the CE and BW end, and is one of the fancier looking heifers in our pen. She is moderate, smooth on the move, and structurally correct. I think this heifer has all the pieces that with some time on feed she can really be competitive for a junior, but most importantly is going to make one heck of a cow. Check ABCSGelbvieh.com for a video of this female. Sells open and ready to breed. 45th Annual Gelbvieh Gold

Here is a red balancer that is going to be pretty hard to miss on sale day. She is super moderate, has loads of rib shape, capacity, and natural thickness, big boned and footed, and has got the shag to play with. Quite frankly this is the best female to every leave our place. This will be the second female her dam, 61A, has put in this sale, and her other heifer is in our bred heifer pen looking great, so the power is in the blood on this one. This is a heifer that most certainly you would rather own than have to beat. Check ABCSGelbvieh.com for a video of this outstanding female. Sells open and ready to breed.

Ms Cyclone is the top pick of my 2017 replacement pen and she looks to have the makings for an excellent show prospect. She is an attractive and well balanced female that comes in a moderate and easy fleshing package. If you look in her pedigree you will see her dam goes back to Vin-Mar O’Reilly Factor, a popular Angus AI sire, and HYEK Black Impact, a popular Gelbvieh AI sire. Also, her dam was purchased out of this very same sale 4 years ago, from Sauers Valley View Farms. Last year in the Gelbvieh Gold Sale, Ms Cyclone had a paternal sister sell as the 3rd high selling female lot. There is a lot of quality bred into this young and promising female, so do not miss her on sale day. Sells Open.

MCG 3D is a 2 year old bull sired by JRI Secret Stashwho was in the 2010 National Champion Pen of 3 in Denver. STash was sired by JRI Top Secret, breed trait leader for low birth weights. Six of Secret Stash’s bull calves have been in the Werner Feed Efficiency test station in Diagnol Iowa, fed high roughes ration in the last several years with top bull gaining 1 pound for every 5.6 pounds of feed. 3D’s dam is a very docile female and great milker, great udder as a 7 year old. Doesn’t look like she will ever quit producing. This bull was shown at the 2017 Iowa State FAir standing next to the Champion. Take a look, can’t go wrong!

Genomic enhanced EPDs. Homozygous Black. Homozygous Polled. Talk about performance, Mr Outright posted an adjusted weaning weight of 901 lbs off a first calf heifer and an adjusted yearling weight of 1442 lbs. His weaning weight had a ratio of 120 and ranked #2 out of 18 within his contemporary group. His actual performance numbers are supported by some impressive EPDs, like a WW (78) AND YW (127) EPD ranking in the top 10% and 3% of the breed, respectively. Mr Outright also puts together a tremendous set of carcass EPDs which all rank in the top 15% or higher, including a Carcass Weight (49) and Ribeye Area (0.90) EPD both ranking in the top 2% of all Balancer sires. Mr Outright’s pedigree has plenty of quality bred into too. His sire, TAU Outright 162A, was the high selling bull in Taubenheim Gelbvieh’s 2014 production sale. If the buyer wishes, Herink Gelbvieh will be happy to keep the bull at our farm for free until April 1st. 45th Annual Gelbvieh Gold

A smooth made 3/4 Gelbvieh bull. This mating has worked year after year for us. 1E7’s dam has consistently produced a topnotch calf. Whether it be a bull or heifer. 1E7 is smooth in his lines and on the move. With a great cow family behind him 1E7 is capable of producing excellent quality replacement females as well as calves that will perform well in the feedlot. His full sib is one of the bred heifers we are consigning to the expo and she is proof of the maternal power of their bloodline.
