We have been raising purebred Gelbvieh for 24 years now and are excited for the future of the breed and the growth of the industry. The past 4 years we have teamed up with Bullseye Feeds to feed our bulls with a more wholistic approach focusing on overall herd health and utilizing on farm products as much as possible! Along with there help we are targeting a 3.5lb/day gain over a longer amount of time rather than the Bull Test approach. We feed our bulls a high fiber, high roughage, total mixed ration of hay, silage, and ground grain along with a high concentrated mineral pack designed for the specific ration and pen of bulls! We feel that growing our bulls out this way will ensure the highest rate of success and longevity of our Bulls! The focus of our herd starts with the Mother cow! We do our best to raise and maintain the highest quality females that we can in our operation. You will quickly realize that correct structure, excellent udders, moderate cow size, good temperament and overall production are our measuring stick of who stays and who goes! We aim to replace 40 females every year while maintaining a herd of 160 Females to calve each year. The other ½ of the puzzle is the working Herdsires! We do our best to source the highest quality Herd Bulls as we need. Our focus is moderate BW to Explosive growth while maintaining structural correctness, excellent Phenotype, backed by a dam with maternal


strength! The Bulls we have on offer this year are an exceptional group of bulls that we feel can supply whatever need you have to address in your herd.

Really this bull needs no introduction. We were very fortunate in the fall of 2021 at the Function and Finess Sale to have the opportunity to purchase an in herd use semen package on this elite Herdsire! What we have discovered with Grizzly is that he is very consistent in his progeny, he stamps them! The calves come with exceptional ease, have lots of vigor and lots of fuzzy hair. As you can see in these bulls on offer, they grow out exceptionally well too. We will continue to use Grizzly in our heifer AI program for many years to come!

In the Spring of 2021, we were very excited to add this Elite Herdsire! We purchased 50% share on Masterplan and own him with Severtson Land and Cattle. Masterplan has a ton to offer the breed and the industry. He is easy calving, clean fronted and has extra extension with a small skull shape. He adds a ton of hair, and you will be quick to spot his curly haired sons! As well he adds length of spine and a broad top and a wide based bull. We are seeing the breed changing potential that he has to offer and are so excited for his first heifers to be calving and his 3rd calf crop that is hitting the ground right now!

Foursquare Legacy is the last natural calf out of Foursquare Catalina 63C. She died before heading out to pasture, so we grafted this bull onto a different cow, but she had been with out a calf for more than a week. Needless to say, he missed his mom’s milk! Since weaning however Foursquare Legacy has not looked back gaining an above average 3.82 lbs/day. He has had 3 brothers sell through our annual sale, 2 of the 3 as the high seller and the other in the top five. We are retaining an in herd use semen interest in this bull. This prospect will no doubt be a herd building block for the new owner!

In the Spring of 2019, we purchased JRI Protégé from Judd ranch in Kansas, as the second highest selling bull that year! As an individual Protégé had an 87 lb BW and grew to an impressive 801lb 205D weight! We are calving out the third group of his females and they are excellent females with good temperaments and good milk! Protégé is deep bodied, big footed and very correct in his makeup. He adds docility, a great haircoat, beef, butt and guts and maternal strength!

Huskie is a son of Right Combination and is out of a maternal Powerhouse Fir River Ms Class 673Z, known best as the dam of Fir River Dragon 104D! Huskie was at the top of his penand we jumped at the chance to add the strength of his dam to our herd! He is powerful and adds hair and a big foot in a slightly more moderate frame than RC. We are excited to use Huskie and look forward to more of his calves in the coming years.

Understanding EPD’s Calving ease direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd. Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers. Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf. Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD.
