n 1970, Gallagher Rule and Mitch Dobson met Homer Knost in Germany. Gallagher was looking for Holstein bulls, Homer was looking for Limousin breeding stock and Mitch Dobson was looking for breeding stock. This trio met Lennes Hall who was looking for breeding bulls for Carnation Genetics. All four drifted toward the Gelbvieh breeding collection center. There they found the great bull Hass, the top Gelbvieh bull of the German semen collection center. Mitch, Gallagher and Homer talked it over and decided when they got back to the United States they should start a breed association connected to the Gelbvieh breed.

Gallagher was also a semen distributor for Carnation and was acquainted with Lennes Hall and they thought he could get semen from Carnation as Lennes had decided that Carnation needed to add Gelbvieh to their semen inventory. So a loose connection was established while everyone was in Germany and the wheels started to turn about forming a breed association as soon as they got home. They had found out the Limousin association was thinking of taking over the Gelbvieh breed and starting an offspring breed of that association.

Very early in 1971, Mitch and Gallagher contacted two fraternity brothers of Mitch Dobson, and ask them if they would be interested in starting a breed association. The two frat brothers were Merle Buss and Fred Tweitmeyer. The three of them had a fraternity brother who was an attorney in Oklahoma City by the name of Edd Pritchett. A meeting was set up in Edd’s office and the proposition of the association was discussed. At

AGA Board of Directors from the 1970s. that time, Homer Knost was also contacted to see if he would like to be a part of this action. The next day the articles of incorporation were drawn up and the by-laws were formed. The articles at that time were signed by Merle Buss, Mitch Dobson and E. Edd Pritchett. The articles were notarized by Edd’s wife, Susie Pritchett. Immediately after signing the three flew to Ponca City, Oklahoma, and drove to Mitch Dobson’s ranch house and had Gallagher Rule and Fred Tweitmeyer sign the articles of incorporation. They then flew back to Oklahoma City and Edd took the incorporation papers to the Oklahoma

Mitch Dobson’s house and the table where the final signing of the articles of incorporation took place.

State Capitol and had the papers registered with the state of Oklahoma, thus forming the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA) as an official breed organization. That date was June 28, 1971. The real need for the quickness of this action was that the Limousin association was also working to get the Gelbvieh breed registered in their name. The only reason Homer Knost was not a signer on the articles because there was not time for him to fly from Louisiana to be there. This was how short the time span was to get the AGA formed and keep the Limousin association cut out. Timing was of the essence and these men prevailed.

BEA 5101D comes from the heart of our ET program and is what we have been selecting for over the years. She is loaded with length, natural volume and rib shape in an attractive, feminine package. We selected her donor dam, DLW 321A, for her overall balance, fleshing ability and eye appeal. We have only had her for a short period of time, but there isn’t a calf (ET or natural) we haven’t been impressed with. We have mated her several different ways, but this flush is our favorite thus far. BABR 4267B was a crowd favorite in our 2015 bull sale.

He offers length, thickness, extension and offers a stout skeletal make up with a sound functional foot to carry it. His dam, River Hills Forever Lady U276, is a consistent producer. Her progeny offer and average birth weight of 78lbs, adjusted weaning weight of 752 lbs. an adjusted yearling weight of 1,491 lbs. with a marbling score of 4.1. This female offers top-end production and proven carcass genetics, and we look forward what the future has in store for her.

Her first calf, BCFG 133C, was Champion Balancer Female at Junior Nationals in Stillwater, Oklahoma, this past summer and was recently named Champion Balancer at the North American in Louisville for the Raab family in Indiana. Clinch Mt Ms Impact 1339A is nursing a full-sib bull calf to the champion heifer and he looks like he could be pretty special also.
