Nominate Outstanding Commercial, Seedstock Producers IN AN EFFORT to recognize the outstanding commercial and seedstock producers involved in the Gelbvieh breed, the American Gelbvieh Association has created the Outstanding Commercial Producer Award and the Outstanding Seedstock Producer Award. Both awards are based off the Beef Improvement Federation awards that are presented annually at the BIF conference. The AGA will recognize one Outstanding Commercial Producer and one Outstanding Seedstock
Producer annually during the Gelbvieh activities at the National Western Stock Show. The recipients of the AGA awards will then be considered for the Association’s nominations for the BIF awards that year. State associations are asked to nominate one commercial producer and one seedstock producer they feel is deserving of this recognition. The applications are available below as editable PDF documents and are due to the AGA office by December 1.
