Welcome to our 15th Annual Bull and Female Sale! The Southwest Iowa Gelbvieh and Balancer Group would like to thank all of our customers and all who have shown interest in our cattle over the last twelve years. You can drive as far as you want and not find better seedstock than we offer. The bulls have all been tested for feed efficiency, ultra-sounded, scrotal measured and semen tested. Bulls have been fed for soundness, longevity and ease of handling from birth to buyer. The bulls have been fed in a feed efficiency program which automatically weighs all the feed consumed and at the time of day. If you choose high efficiency bulls and retain heifers from them, in a few generations (as have been studied and tested by universities and cattle testing stations such as Werner Feed Efficiency Testing Center), you can achieve feed efficient cattle that can save as much as $100 per cow per year in feed costs. On 100 cows that translates to $10,000 saved! Thanks to Cody Frey and his crew at the Creston Livestock Auction for all the work they have done; Jordan Vander Molen for clipping and fitting the bulls and to Tucker Mittag who took the videos and pictures for the catalog. We would also like to thank Jane Adolph for her expertise in putting our catalog together over the past years. We look forward to seeing you at the sale on Friday, March 15th!

If we choose to collect semen we will work etc. The new EPDs are more accurate through genetic testing, termed “Genomic with the new owner and schedule the collection around his schedule. Enhancement”. This is done by picking out genetic markers in blood samples for individual EPD traits and the degree they influence each trait. In the past EPDs have been calculated We will rarely exercise this option, but with all the new DNA technology we may want to use some of these genetics in the future. from many generations of weigths and growth.

Martens Gelbvieh is located near Walnut, Iowa where we have lived for the past 35 years. We are a small family operation that raises mostly corn, soybeans, and a few Gelbvieh cattle.Our introduction to Gelbvieh was in 1989 when we purchased our first Gelbvieh bull (the only breed we have ever had ), we joined the American Gelbvieh Association the next year and started breeding up our cows to be purebreds, and we bought a few PBs along the way. We sold a few bulls privately for a few years then in 2010 we got together with a few other Gelbvieh breeders and started The Southwest Iowa Gelbvieh & Balancer Bull Sale which is now in its 15th year. We are currently running about 30 purebred black cows and sell our top bulls and replacement heifers in the sale. We would like to thank all of our past customers and everyone else that has showed interest in our cattle and our sale over the years. We hope to see you on March 15th.
MJBC Gelbvieh was started in 1993 with the purchase of two bulls from the late Frances Bradshaw. We are located in west central Iowa outside the town of Audubon. My family consists of my wife Carrie (an elementary principal) and our children Chris and Ruthie. We run 50 pairs and also raise corn, soybeans, and alfalfa on owned and rented ground. From those two bulls we have bred our herd up to mostly black purebred cows. With the use of AI, ET, and live bull coverage, we have been able to improve our cattle herd. Our goal is to produce cattle that are functional in both the pasture and the feed yard with eye appeal. As one of the original members of the Southwest Iowa Gelbvieh and Balancer Bull & Female Sale, I would like to thank you for your interest in our bulls and heifers and supporting this annual sale.
hoBBs gelBvieh / riChard hoBBs and faMily CounCil Bluffs, ioWa / 515-822-2561 Hobbs Gelbvieh is a family operation raising Gelbvieh for 35 years. We have focused over the years on cows with excellent disposition, problem free genetics. We currently run 45 cows with 95% being purebred genetics with most being outcross genetics. If you are looking for a sound good performing cattle that will work year after year we would like to share our genetics.
MCCreary gelBvieh / JiM MCCreary Mt. ary, ioWa / 641-464-3178 We started our Gelbvieh herd in 1979 when we bought some Gelbvieh cross cows from Cooper Brothers in Oklahoma. We used a purebred bull and also used A.I. semen from fullblood bulls. We have been pushing purebreds ever since. Our family has had as many as 150 pairs. Since I have retired, we have cut way back to be calving 15 to 20 cows a year. We try buying different bloodlines within our bulls and A.I. work. As my grandchildren have grown to love the cattle, we show what we raise and believe in. I myself and my wife, Carol, my son, Ed, and his family and my daughter, Barb, and her family are all involved in raising and showing of our cattle. We are striving to produce high quality cattle in our small herd. We wish each of you good luck in your purchases and hope to see you in the future.
holste’s triple h farMs / roy & nanCy holste Clarinda, ioWa / 712-303-1947 Roy Holste and wife, Nancy, own and operate Triple H Farms. We got started in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I bought my first Gelbvieh cows when Northwest Missouri State College sold their Gelbvieh herd. We run around 60 head of [urebred cows with the goal of making our calves deep, wide and soggy with a lot of carcass merit.

Kopriva gelBvieh / anthony & raChael Kopriva
We started working into Gelbvieh in 1983. We AI'd other continental breeds for a few years until we got three quarter bloods. I found Gelbvieh was the breed I liked best all the way through purebreds. They just made a home for themselves and we added Balancers soon after. We've driven from Texas into Canada and from Indiana through Montana looking at bulls. I believe the great breeders we've met and purchased bulls from are a lot like the cattle they raise…honest, hard working and top of the line. I believe there are more differences within a breed than between breeds.
Clutier, ioWa / 319-231-6279 My father started raising Gelbvieh cattle in 1988. He liked the maternal traits along with the docility that Gelbvieh cattle had to offer. It didn’t take long until I was working by his side. Through 4H, I started showing and grew my own herd. I continued to improve the herd with artificial insemination and soon added some embryo transfer. Still to this day we focus on maternal and docility, in addition we strive to improve all traits across the board bringing well rounded quality animals to the sale ring. In 2018, I married my wonderful wife. We now have two young kids. While there have been changes throughout the years, one thing has stayed the same - the focus on raising high quality Gelbvieh cattle.
