2021 Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Heifer Futurity
November 15, 2021
The Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Futurity Heifer was initiated to increase participation in the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) Gelbvieh show and sale and to identify outstanding female genetics within the breed. The annual futurity will be held in November each year, during the NAILE Gelbvieh show in Louisville, Ky. The futurity winners will be selected by scored balloting of the futurity members present or their designated representative, not by the show judge. The owners of the top three placing heifers will receive cash prizes based upon the futurity membership and entry fees received, less all costs, expenses and administrative fees associated with conducting the futurity. One futurity member will be drawn as the recipient of the champion futurity heifer. Each futurity member (except the consignor of the winning heifer) will have one chance in the drawing. Members do not need to be present to win.

We are excited to offer LHC 0193H “Kel” in the Heifer Futurity. The combination of TJB 848F and Big Dog daughters has worked beyond our expectations. Kel is a powerful female with tons of bone, body and muscles. And she is still flexible and sound on the move. She has a bright future as a donor and should produce stout herd bulls and power cows. We appreciate your vote and would be glad to talk with you about 0193H and the cow family behind her.

WAM Jenny 029H offers an outcross, purebred pedigree with unlimited breeding possibilities. Her dam, 11U, is one of our donors having earned her spot there. She consistently raised one of our top calves each year. Jenny is sired by Godfather 575C. He is known for producing outstanding daughters that excel in udder quality and are easy keeping, good doing cows. As the picture suggests, Jenny is stout made with unusual eye appeal. Jenny ranks in the top 10% of the breed for calving ease, top 25% for weaning weight and top 2% of the breed for marbling. We are excited about her future!

Cow power alert!!! SSMK Golden Girl is a cattleman’s dream for rib shape, growth, and maternal look. This easy fleshing female is attractive from all angles and still has the build for durability and longevity in the pasture. Her dam was named Grand Champion Heifer at the Dixie Nationals in 2015. Golden Girl goes back to the very popular Astro bull and one of the longest standing and successful cow lines on Double Diamond Farms. She is AI to calve to the calving ease specialist SSMK Calvin Klein who was the 2012 North American Grand Champion Gelbvieh bull.
Futurity Voting and Scoring Each futurity member is entitled to cast only one ballot/vote. Ballots are issued only to paid members and voting can only be done by the designated membership representative. Only those membership representatives present will be allowed to vote. Ballots will be given to members when they enter the judging arena. Each ballot must contain votes for all three placing and a different heifer must be selected for each of the three placing. Scoring of the three places per ballot will be as follows: 1st = 30 pts., 2nd = 20 pts., 3rd = 10 pts.
Awards Payments will be made and distributed to the winning consignors as follows: Champion heifer receives $10,000 of the net proceeds with the two reserve champions dividing the remaining net proceeds. The top three heifers will receive banners. Each of the top three winners must have pictures taken for Gelbvieh World and KGA use. Payments to the membership/owner of the top three heifers will be made by check approximately one month after the futurity is held. Disclaimer The Kentucky Gelbvieh Association (KGA) assumes no responsibility and makes no warranty, expresses or implied as to the fitness and marketability of the champion futurity female or her resulting progeny. The futurity is in no way related to the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA). All contact agreements, warranties, if any, shall be between the consignor of the champion futurity female and the member winning the female in the drawing. Membership Memberships are only considered renewed upon payment of the $300 annual futurity membership fee AND the $25 Kentucky Gelbvieh Association (KGA) dues. Fees must be paid by September 30th of the current year. Futurity members have the right of refusal to renew their membership. If the membership is not renewed OR if membership fees are not paid then the membership is considered vacant and may be offered for sale. Sales of vacant memberships will be determined by the futurity board of directors. Memberships will be limited to 40 members. Futurity Heifer Nominations Each futurity membership may enter only one heifer. Any heifer entered must be owned by the nominating member. Futurity entries are limited to only those females conforming to the NAILE open Gelbvieh show classification and must be entered and shown in the appropriate class. The nomination fee is $150 per heifer and must be submitted with the completed entry form to be eligible for futurity participation. Complete futurity entries must be postmarked by October 1st of the current year to be included in the futurity. Any entries received without payment and/or received after the October 1st postmark will be ineligible. No exceptions. Entry nomination forms will be sent to all paid memberships. At the time of the nomination, heifers must be recorded with the AGA and a copy of the registration certificate must accompany the entry. All futurity entries must present DNA parent verification. Parent verification must be completed and presented at time of heifer check-in at the futurity. Once entries are received no refunds will be allowed. No exceptions. The consignor of the champion futurity heifer may exercise the option to retain five embryos during her lifetime, but otherwise agrees to release full ownership and full possession to the futurity member selected in the drawing. The owner of the heifer at time of futurity entry will be responsible for AGA transfer of ownership.

This by far is the best black Power Built daughter we have produced to date. She has all the cow power you could ask for, big middle, and maintains a very feminine look. Looking for purple or a donor dam here she is.
