2 Breeder s CHOICE Gelbvieh Bull Futurity GENERAL INFORMATION 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, the National Gelbvieh Convention 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.

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 11, 2014 at 10:00 am.

We feel that RWG Zed 2538 is an exceptional individual with a lot to offer our breed. RWG Zed 2538 is a top son of PHG Wizard W27(deceased), who was a great breeding bull that produced exceptional progeny including three brand name herd bulls; RWG Fire & Ice 1604, RWG Yikes 1512 and RWG Yaeger PHG Wizard W27 produced over $130, in progeny sales his first calf crop with his sons selling for an average of $10,055.00, and had two sons in the 2013 NWSS Grand Champion Bull Drive. RWG Zed 2538 represents only the second calf crop from PHG Wizard W27 and we feel he is in the same league as the other top Wizard sons and is the first black. RWG Zed 2538 has a very solid maternal backing as well. His Dam-RWG Veronica 9102 is an excellent RWG Royal Reserve 5066 daughter whose grandsire is the calving ease & maternal great VG 68N ET. RWG 9102 has done a great job for us, she raised a RWG Why-Me 9515 son as a first calver that we showed and sold at the Canadian National Show. RWG Zed 2538 is her second calf and in 2013 she has an excellent heifer calf sired by FLAD Dracula 57Y= Great production consistently! RWG Zed 2538 puts together a great set of numbers with very solid CUP ultrasound data posting a REA index and an impressive IMF index, combined with his moderate BW, excellent performance, and great pedigree he is a true herd bull who s carcass EPD`s will dramatically improve once his ultrasound data is calculated in the next EPD run.

Our industry demands cattle to grow fast, stop and grade. We think ADOLPH will sire calves to do this based on the performance of his Dam XXB Miss Drew. She is the dam of Pegasus, Upward Bound, Sinbad, Sartorius and many other breed greats. Her milk combined with the growth potential of CRAN W24 has created a massive early maturing herd sire candidate with smooth muscle on a fluid moving skeleton. Words cannot describe the value of 01A, you must evaluate him yourself to fully appreciate his attributes. M & P GELBVIEH ODELL, NE Page 5

Dividend was raised on a most impressive Montana Infusion daughter who s AI sire has been popular to add proven carcass and calving ease genetics. Dividend comes from a long line of productive cows with his grand dam ratioing 101-BW 106-WW on her first 3 calves and his great grand dam ratio s 102-BW 115-WW ratio s during her entire stay in our program. Individually, Post Rock Dividend is one of the very few calves out of first calf heifer whose ever had an 800 pound WW in our program.

His sire Gunslinger 19U is becoming more and more popular for his ability to add muscle and REA to his calves while maintaining moderate sized functional females. 36A s mother and grandmother are currently both donor females at Flying H and continue to excel year after year. With a phenomenally proven cow family like that and the fact that 36A ranks in the top 5% of the breed for REA he promises to add pounds and muscle to his calves while adding value to his daughters for their maternal strength. We believe 36A represents our program well because he is sound, solid, functional, and fertile. Thank you for your interest and we would appreciate your vote for Mr Gun 36A.

We believe Jumpman has the ability to become a breed changer as he is truly unique in his type and kind. This Double Black, Homozygous Polled son of HYEK Black Impact is out of a powerful donor cow that goes back to our herd bull BABR Tsunami. It s tough to build a purebred that is this big bodied, bold ribbed, and still tremendously stout in his build. Jumpman uniquely adds to this power by being super attractive in his look. 23A is clean fronted, level made, and so correct in the angles of his skeleton. He holds his topline together on the move, and meets his track with a fault free stride on the lead. Cattlemen if you re looking for a versatile breeding bull to fit any scenario and situation, Jumpman is your sire. There is no question in our minds that Jumpman has the ability to jumpstart any herd, and leave a mark on the Gelbvieh breed. A video is available at taubenheimgelbvieh.com.

His ten year old dam is a full sister to the DLW 408P donor that now lives at TJB Gelbvieh in Georgia. His grandmother showed excellent longevity and was productive to the age of 14.

Phenotypically, Ariat has been a standout since birth as he is a long sided, square hipped, massive topped individual that is certainly flexible and sound on his feet and legs as he has already proven himself on his first outing as champion spring bull calf at the 2013 Tulsa State Fair. This homozygous polled bull s design and performance numbers could lead him to be the next best herd sire. We purchased Ariat s sire, BNC Mr Hojer Y06Z, from the Hojer Ranch in 2012 as a young new red herd sire and certainly are very impressed with his offspring. Ariat is impressive on paper with a weaning weight of 846. Ariat s dam, JRI Primo 214N8K is a no miss female that really knows how to wean and raise the good ones. We have retained several daughters of this great cow in our herd. There is no doubt Ariat will catch your eye in Denver and we would appreciate your vote at the 2014 Breeder s Choice Gelbvieh Bull Futurity.
