The sponsor of the annual Futurity will be the Breeder’s Choice Bull Futurity, Inc., a non-profit organization, not associated with the American Gelbvieh Association.

Each Futurity breeder member will receive 20 (twenty) units of semen from the winning bull.

The voting will be held at the National Western Stadium Arena on Saturday, January 12, 2019 at approximately 10:00 am. The top 3 vote winning bulls in the initial voting will come back to the arena for a second voting to select and announce The Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Bull Futurity Champion.

DVE Davidson Rancher 6F stood alongside his beautiful first calf Dam DVE Davidson Ms Navaho 33D as she was selected Grand Champion Female at the November 2018 Gelbvieh Show during Farmfair International in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. DDGR Navaho 188X, sire of Ms Navaho 33D contributed many very valuable contributions to this stout breeding program! Homozygous polled and homozygous black this young herd sire elect is sired by CK Driller 34D, who is a brand new herd sire at Davidson Gelbvieh. Born on Jan 24, 2018 at 80 lbs., his index at weaning was 115 and his adjusted weaning weight was an impressive 824 lbs. He weighed 1019 lbs on November 18th. A bull with exceptional mass, ideal length, eye appeal, depth and an extra bonus... an outcross pedigree.... he has been bred to add a lot of practicalbility and performance to many programs.

CIRS Right Time is the bull the Gelbvieh breed could use to bring back and reinforce strong maternal traits, phenotype and performance. His EPDs prove the point – performance and maternal strength! While he is in the top 3% Yearling Weight and 5% Total Maternal, his Dam’s YW EPD is in the top 1%! For those interested in his potential in the show ring, Right Time’s full sister, CIRS 22YE, won the People’s Choice Heifer Futurity in Louisville last year. She was the only red heifer entered and the only heifer from west of the Mississippi to be considered by all Futurity members.

CIRS Right Time is loaded with maternal power – his Dam’s udder and teat quality is second to none. Right Time is balanced from end to end – big middled, big topped and big quartered atop a big, sound foot and hoof. He moves out as good as any powerful Gelbvieh bull out there. This is the RIGHT TIME for Gelbvieh breeders and red meat producers to look for performance and maternal power. We challenge you to look no further than CIRS RIGHT TIME 22YF! We appreciate your consideration and your vote.

RTRT FRONTIER 8006

If you are looking to add performance and carcass in to your program without sacrificing calving ease and eye appeal, consider RTRT FRONTIER 8006. Homozygous Polled and Heterozygous Black.

RTRT Frontier 8006’s dam is a KKC NOBILITY 123Y daughter that was my pick of Gustin’s 2016 production sale. He is sired

by Ridinger’s selection of the 2016 J&K Farms Bull sale, JKGF Frontier C90. JKGF Frontier C90 is out of the growth and carcass specialist DLW NEW Frontier 33A ET, and has HYEK BLACK IMPACT 3960N on the bottom side.

Red commercial females have been demanding premiums in many markets all over the country. This mating was my effort to combine outcross red genetics with breed leading performance and carcass genetics, with the ultimate goal of meeting industry demands. RTRT Frontier 8006 is a step in that direction.

He came off a 2500 acre mountain pasture at 772 pounds, and has been gaining 4+ lbs per day since weaning, so it appears like his actual performance supports his EPD figures.

It was 20 below 0 when he was born, so what he lacks in ears and tail, he makes up in performance, carcass, and eye appeal.

Make sure you stop by and check him out in Denver.

Hilltop Farms is excited to submit HTFG FINAL DRIVE F820 as our 2019 Breeders Choice Gelbvieh Bull futurity entry.

Final Drive has been a standout docile individual in our purebred herd since the day he was born. His stunning look from the side accompanied with his powerful hip and hind leg, and his added spring of rib assures him to be a true herd sire. This homozygous polled 88% purebred stems from the 2015 American Royal Grand Champion Gelbvieh Bull, HTFB Mr Bruce Almighty B419, who ranks in the top 3% of the breed for yearling weight and top 10% for weaning weight . There is know doubt Final Drive is like any other Bruce Almighty calf, high performing, stout, and tremendously thick made as they are true growth and power bulls. Final Drive nursed the SINK 39X cow who sure did not disappoint again this year as she raised a sale favorite in our 2018 bull sale. While in the mile high city be sure to look up Final Drive in our stall you will not be disappointed.

Thank you for your consideration. Hilltop Farms is committed to raising quality seedstock.

Prairie Hills Gelbvieh is excited to submit PHG Ferdinand F18 for your consideration as this years futurity entry.

Ferdinand is a bull that has been cut from a different cloth since day 1. He is a bull that shows a tremendous length of body and smoothness, but truly excels when you view the extraordinary amount of thickness he carries from his chest, through his top and into his quarter. He may also be one of the quietest bulls we’ve had the pleasure of working with. Our daughter Kylee named this bull after he came up to her in the pasture and let her scratch him, and then he continued coming back every time she would visit. Just like the bull in the Disney movie, Ferdinand is a laid back calf who outperforms his contemporaries. He posted a 76 pound BW and exploded to a 918 actual, 905 adjusted WW. Homo polled and hetero black, he posts a set of EPDs that will keep you between the guardrails on all the traits, while having a 98.2% genetic makeup to help in breed up scenarios. He will be a part of our pen of 3 in the yards. We invite you to stop by and check him out!

Boot Hill is the kind of purebred bull a lot of breeders (including us) have been waiting for, and we have been trying to produce for a while now: a black, homozygous polled 94% purebred who offers an elite package that brings all the sectors of not only our breed but the industry together. A bull that comes with a modest birthweight, outstanding growth both on paper and actual data, added carcass traits with the kind of build it takes to be highly competitive in the show ring while being backed by proven genetics that offer consistency and longevity. Well, that’s exactly what this guy offers! A modest birthweight with the big time growth and carcass traits and actual data being in the top 4% for REA, 15% WW, YW, CW, & YG, 20% FT & HP, 30% TM & PG30 and posting just an 81 lb actual birthweight with over an 800 lb weaning off an 11 year old dam. To top that off, he is backed by the Halle cow family who could write a book on longevity, productivity, and fertility. On the top side is sired by our exciting new high growth herd sire, Doc Holiday, who is stamping his calves like a cookie cutter and combines the national champion, Lawman, with two shots of the great Leanne cow family, who needs no introduction to the breed. When you combine that kind of genetic and pedigree strength with the fact that he has that powerful, rugged yet active phenotype, super flexible, sound structure and added foot, bone, and body that is demanded to produce competitive show cattle, you quickly find a winning combination! We are confident that never before has there been an animal to come out of our program who offers this kind of ability to help keep pushing our breed even further into the fore front of the industry. Be sure that you don’t get left out of resting with the Legends in Boot Hill when it comes time to mark your ballot.
