Gelbvieh cattle head to auction
Two hundred bulls and female Gelbvieh (Gel-fee) cattle are heading to the Post Rock Cattle Company’s annual auction Feb. 25. Leland Clark, senior partner in Post Rock Cattle Company, said between the DNA testing, the Genomic Enhanced Expected Progeny Differences, and ultrasound technology they use on their cattle should give people confidence the breeding bulls they are purchasing are top quality. A list of prestigious awards presented in the past few years also validates the quality of the company’s resident sires. They won seven banners in the American Gelbvieh Foundation Scale and Rail contest and had two resident sires awarded the Grand Champion Pen of Carcass Value Steers, Probity in the Balancer division and 32F9 (Roy) in the purebred division. This brings to four the number of resident herd sires to have achieved that honor.
