2019 Breeder's Choice Gelbvieh Heifer Futurity

2019 Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Heifer Futurity

November 20, 2019

The Breeder’s Choice Gelbvieh Futurity Heifer was initiated to increase participation in the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) Gelbvieh show and sale and to identify outstanding female genetics within the breed. The annual futurity will be held in November each year, during the NAILE Gelbvieh show in Louisville, Ky. The futurity winners will be selected by scored balloting of the futurity members present or their designated representative, not by the show judge. The owners of the top three placing heifers will receive cash prizes based upon the futurity membership and entry fees received, less all costs, expenses and administrative fees associated with conducting the futurity. One futurity member will be drawn as the recipient of the champion futurity heifer.

Each futurity member (except the consignor of the winning heifer) will have one chance in the drawing. Members do not need to be present to win.

This by far is the best black Power Built daughter we have produced to date. She has all the cow power you could ask for, big middle, and maintains a very feminine look. Looking for purple or a donor dam here she is.

It’s not every day you come across a high percent purebred with the look, style and power that this female has. Ms. Faye 908F is sired by the increasingly popular Blues Impact and out of the famed BCFG Butlers 908T who is also the dam of Butlers Red Oak 908W. Our motto has always been to offer the best! We feel like this heifer exceeds those expectations and we would greatly appreciate your consideration and vote for the 2019 NAILE Gelbvieh Heifer Futurity.

CCRO Carolina Hot Fudge 8700F ET is the epitome of what we are trying to produce here at C-Cross. She is Homo Black and Homo Polled and easy on the eyes. Her dam, W607, has produced past Futurity champions, AI Sires and many favorite functional females across the breed. You will appreciate her balance, spring of rib, femininity and power. Her sire, VRT RUP Lazy TV Hot Fudge J357, has sired many top bulls and females as well. This is certainly a package you can hang your hat on. Please consider Hot Fudge 8700F as your Futurity Heifer of choice.

You want our best? We are nominating our very best bred heifer for your consideration! Fredonia was our grandson’s show heifer this year; exhibited from the AGJA Junior Nationals to the KY State Fair and now center stage at the NAILE. She is a fabulous BA75 EGL Lifeline daughter from a fantastic purebred Sampson daughter (a linebred Maverick daughter). She combines predictable maternal and performance genetics with impressive balanced EPD’s. Phenotypically and structurally she has that sought-after moderate frame and high growth, all in one package.

She has developed on high roughage and forages that we strive for, not a high energy show feed.

She excels in structural soundness; and phenotypically, is as good as we can make one. She is super gentle and easy to look at every day. She is A.I. bred to the outstanding Angus sire, PVF Insight 129 (AN16805884) on 3-27-2019 with a due date of 1-3-2020. Insight produces excellent Balancers for us and we would anticipate a “sho-nuff” good one out of this mating! Be sure to mark her outstanding and vote for her as your favorite when you evaluate the futurity offering!

Futurity Voting and Scoring Each futurity member is entitled to cast only one ballot/vote. Ballots are issued only to paid members and voting can only be done by the designated membership representative. Only those membership representatives present will be allowed to vote. Ballots will be given to members when they enter the judging arena. Each ballot must contain votes for all three placing and a different heifer must be selected for each of the three placing.

Scoring of the three places per ballot will be as follows: 1st = 30 pts., 2nd = 20 pts., 3rd = 10 pts.

Awards Payments will be made and distributed to the winning consignors as follows: Champion heifer receives $10,000 of the net proceeds with the two reserve champions dividing the remaining net proceeds. The top three heifers will receive banners. Each of the top three winners must have pictures taken for Gelbvieh World and KGA use. Payments to the membership/owner of the top three heifers will be made by check approximately one month after the futurity is held.

Disclaimer The Kentucky Gelbvieh Association (KGA) assumes no responsibility and makes no warranty, expresses or implied as to the fitness and marketability of the champion futurity female or her resulting progeny. The futurity is in no way related to the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA).

All contact agreements, warranties, if any, shall be between the consignor of the champion futurity female and the member winning the female in the drawing.

Membership Memberships are only considered renewed upon payment of the $300 annual futurity membership fee AND the $25 Kentucky Gelbvieh Association (KGA) dues. Fees must be paid by September 30th of the current year. Futurity members have the right of refusal to renew their membership.

If the membership is not renewed OR if membership fees are not paid then the membership is considered vacant and may be offered for sale. Sales of vacant memberships will be determined by the futurity board of directors. Memberships will be limited to 40 members.

Futurity Heifer Nominations Each futurity membership may enter only one heifer. Any heifer entered must be owned by the nominating member. Futurity entries are limited to only those females conforming to the NAILE open Gelbvieh show classification and must be entered and shown in the appropriate class. The nomination fee is $150 per heifer and must be submitted with the completed entry form to be eligible for futurity participation. Complete futurity entries must be postmarked by October 1st of the current year to be included in the futurity. Any entries received without payment and/or received after the October 1st postmark will be ineligible. No exceptions. Entry nomination forms will be sent to all paid memberships. At the time of the nomination, heifers must be recorded with the AGA and a copy of the registration certificate must accompany the entry. All futurity entries must present DNA parent verification. Parent verification must be completed and presented at time of heifer check-in at the futurity. Once entries are received no refunds will be allowed. No exceptions.

The consignor of the champion futurity heifer may exercise the option to retain five embryos during her lifetime, but otherwise agrees to release full ownership and full possession to the futurity member selected in the drawing. The owner of the heifer at time of futurity entry will be responsible for AGA transfer of ownership.
