About Balancer® Bulls

The Profitable Blend of Angus and Gelbvieh Genetics!

Angus Ward Playbook 165

Balancer hybrids offer a simple and powerful way to maintain hybrid vigor and the proper blend of British and Continental genetics in your cowherd without complicated crossbreeding systems. Registered Balancer hybrids combine the Angus advantages of calving ease, moderate mature size, marbling and convenience traits with Gelbvieh growth, muscle leanness, fertility and unequaled pounds of calf per cow exposed in a single animal. And, documented research proves that Balancer hybrids offer the same consistency as their purebred parents with improved uniformity of composition. Plus, Balancers are registered seedstock, complete with documented parentage and EPD’s. Balancer bulls are registered as Gelbvieh and Angus or Red Angus hybrids with a minimum of 75% of the pedigree documented and with both the sire and the dam recorded with their respective association. There are also registered Hybrid bulls in this catagory, the difference being a varying percentage of Gelbvieh as well as a mixture of other breeds. These bulls can be used in a similar way as the Balancer bulls as long as the buyer is aware of the actual breed makeup as close as can be known.

Both the Balancer & Hybrid bulls’ EPD’s are figured on the Gelbvieh base and can be compared to the Gelbvieh bulls.

The average EPD’s for Balancer bulls as of 1/17/2023 are:
