Hillsdown Gelbvieh Private Treaty Bull Sale Catalogue 2020

Welcome

Welcome to Hillsdown Gelbvieh’s second annual bull catalog. Although the numbers in our bull pen are smaller this year, the quality of the pen is exceptional. Using top bull genetics from proven female lines along with our strong maternal herd we feel we have created a bull to fit almost anyone’s needs. We are very grateful to be blessed with an abundance of moisture last year after 3 consecutive years of drought. The calves were weaned late August and then moved to new pastures where they could graze on native grass until early December. The bulls were then started on a low input bull ration from Bentley Healthy Herds along with free choice silage and hay.

Thus allowing for slower development so they are ready to work for you and able to cover a lot of females this spring without being pushed.

All bulls have been parentage DNA’d to Sire and Dam ensuring accuracy of pedigree and EPD’s as well as horned/polled.

Have a look through the “pen” and please contact us or stop on by for a visit. Our door is always open and we would love to show you our bulls and the consistent and prodigious females that build them.

Thank you all!

Quinn is a maternal brother of HDG Finnegan 4F and out of our 2018 purchase of the high selling bull at Foursquare Farms. We were only able to use Detonator for one season, unfortunately he is no longer in our bull pen. This is an exclusive offer to own an exceptional bull with this pedigree as he was the only Detonator son retained from our 2019 calf crop.

Matthew chose 21E for his pick from the heifer pen in 2017 and then Dynamite was the bull he chose to AI her to. Did he ever get it right, what a great genetic combination to give you one heck of a bull! BTW, Matthew calls Grover “college fund”.
