Gelbvieh Bull Futurity

The Breeder’s Choice Bull Futurity has been initiated by Gelbvieh breeders and supporters to increase participation in the National Gelbvieh Show, the National Gelbvieh Sale and to identify the most useful young sires in the Gelbvieh breed. 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.

The Futurity winners will be selected by scored balloting of the participating breeders members. Ballots must have a different bull in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions. Ballots must include all three positions.

The consignor of the Futurity winner shall receive the greater of approximately 80% of the net futurity funds or the net proceeds from the sale of the bull in the National Sale . Two runners-up will be identified to receive approximately 10% respectively of the net futurity funds.

The Futurity winner will be sold in the National Gelbvieh Sale. The lesser of the net sale proceeds of the winning bull or the net futurity proceeds will be given to one breeder/member who will be selected by a random drawing at the Futurity Social on Saturday night.

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

The voting will be held at the Jim Norick Arena Ring 1, Monday, January 4, 2021, 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.

In a year where there have been so many challenges, Ol’ Glory has been a bright spot in the ProHart program. Just like his namesake, this bull will make you stand up and take notice. He packs a stellar phenotype with an EPD profile that any progressive cattleman can put to use. Ol’ Glory’s first outing brought home Intermediate Champion at the 2020 American Royal.

What really excites us is his impressive EPD package. ProHart has been putting more selection emphasis on Marbling and Feed Profit Index and we are excited to announce that Ol’ Glory ranks in the top 2% of the breed in both Marbling and FPI. Impressive for a 95-percenter. Glory also offers birth weight and calving ease direct in the 10 and 15 percentiles. He also maintains above-average weaning and yearling, along with moderate milk to complete his EPD resume. This caliber of excellence is apparent in his pedigree. His sire OGSG Centurion 120C was selected out of the Overmiller program to help moderate and add depth of body to our females. Centurion’s pattern follows along with his National Champion sire, Zipline. Ol’ Glory’s dam is a daughter of Flying H Mr. 184 316Y, who has put tremendous females into our program. ProHart Brandy 516C EPD’s in SED, BW, WW, YW, DOC, MARBLING, and EPI rank in the top 10%. Her MILK, TM, CEM, $COW rank in the top 2%, and STAY & FPI are in the top 1% for the breed.

You can see why the Brandy cow family has been a mainstay in the ProHart program. Ol’ Glory backs up his impressive EPD’S with performance to match; 83 lbs. birth weight, 858 adjusted weaning weight, and a 1328 adjusted yearling weight. Combine all of those characteristics and you have a bull that will elevate any herd’s production.

JRI Pivotal Point 253H4 nursed an 8-year-old calf raising machine/fertility-plus Secret Instinct daughter who has been honored as a Dam of Merit female in every year of eligibility (2016-2020). Pivotal Point’s incredible dam JRI Ms Sugar Pie 253Z3 flat knows how to raise super stud sons.

Ms Sugar Pie’s first son JRI Prince Charming 253B4 is one of the main herd sires for Dean Duxbury, Wessington, SD and the super stud is producing phenomenal progeny.

Her second son JRI Pop A Top 253D4 was a member of Judd Ranch’s 2017 National Champion Pen of 3 Purebred Bulls with a 75# birth weight/scalebusting 1,360# yearling weight. Ms Sugar Pie’s spring 2019 ET son JRI Pinnacle 253G41 ET (full brother to Pivotal Point) was a member of Judd Ranch’s 2020 National Champion Pen of 3 Purebred Bulls and the super stud featured an 81# birth weight with a whopping 910# actual weaning weight. Pivotal Point should flat boost your performance levels as this super stud posted a whopping 970# actual weaning weight, not to mention the unbelievable fertility impact this cow family offers your program.

Warner Beef Genetics would like to introduce DLW Hand Made 591H to the line up. We have always taken the approach of getting the balance of phenotype and genotype correct with our program and this bull simply appears to be hand made for the breed. 591H is a homo black, homo polled 92% PB with 11 traits in the top 10% of the breed with growth and marbling in the top 4%. His pedigree is stacked, as he nursed an outstanding full sister to futurity runner-up Jackpot 7551B that boasts a 108 nursing ratio, a 116 yearling ratio on 3 previous calves, all of which have been replacements or sale bulls. He is sired by the DLW Dedication 7120D herdsire that is also a maternal brother to the $100K total valued breed leader DLW Frontrunner 2510F from 2020! The power in the blood is real here with an exciting future that is simply Hand Made for Gelbvieh breeders.

It is with great pleasure that we present TAU Rush 110H to you for this year’s bull futurity. Rush is Homozygous Polled. He is the result of many years of meticulous selection in hopes of creating top of the line purebred bulls and females. His dam, the mother of past Balancer bull futurity champion TAU Weight Up 98E, is building quiet the reputation around our place for producing high end progeny. She offers a WW ratio of 107, a YW ratio of 102, a REA ratio of 101, and an IMF ratio of 120. Rush 110H is sired by the outcross performance and carcass sire Bennett E158. We used him to add growth and carcass quality while maintaining maternal strength and we are pleased with the result. 110H’s quality starts at the ground where he is sound structured and wide based. What’s truly unique about Rush is the amount of substance, muscle shape and depth of rib he brings to the table. If you analyze his EPD profile you will notice that he ranks in the top 1% of the breed for weaning weight and yearling weight, top 10% for carcass weight and ribeye area, and still ranks in the top 1/3 of the breed for milk and total maternal. We are extremely excited about what TAU Rush 110H brings to the table. We feel his rare combination of phenotypic quality and genetic merit makes him a sire that will add long-term value to the Gelbvieh Breed. Come check him out in Oklahoma City, we are certain you won’t be disappointed.

HTFG Hilltops Hawkeye H064 is one of the most unique 88 % bulls to be offered by Hilltop Farms. This homozygous polled stand out is among some of the first progeny out of the 2019 National Champion Gelbvieh bull HTFM Mr. Equalizer E711. Hawkeye is ultra-correct in his lines and sound from the ground up while still maintaining the herd bull look. From the profile Hawkeye is long necked, smooth shouldered, and super cool to look at. Not to mention he is loaded with natural thickness and tons of muscle mass.

Hawkeye has a lot of winnings in his blood as his dam is a past champion at the Missouri State Fair, as well as Tulsa State Fair in her show career. Ms. Blair is a front pasture kind of a cow and consistently raises superior offspring.

We feel Hawkeye is a rare individual and cannot wait for your opinion of him at the 2021 Breeders Choice Gelbvieh Bull Futurity. Thank you for your consideration. Hilltop Farms is committed to raising quality seedstock.

RTRT DEPART 0012H a confluence of proven maternal excellence and elite EPDs excelling in Calving ease, Growth and Carcass. Homo Black, Homo Polled, and is a 99.9% Purebred. I encourage you to imagine the mating possibilities of a purebred of this caliber; and moreover, how useful his daughters will be. I think he will prove to be a useful tool in bringing females, 82.3% or higher, to the 91.1% threshold for eligibility to contribute 50% Gelbvieh composition to their offspring. Which adds more mating possibilities in creating fresh Balancer genetics. His EPD figures are backed up by his actual growth, and a lot of cow power on the bottom side. His dam, a beautiful Sam daughter from Gustin’s, weaned him at an adjusted WW of 792 on nothing but grass on a mountain pasture. He should transmit her great udder and easy-fleshing phenotype to his daughters. I encourage you to check out his video. Simply open the camera on your phone, hold it over the QR code, and the prompt will take you to his video. Or better yet, come see him in Oklahoma City.
