Breeding and Sales of Gelbvieh and Balancers

The Alliance Partners

Gelbvieh’s  popularity continues to grow

ABOUT THE ALLIANCE

Welcome to the Bluegrass Gelbvieh Alliance.  The Alliance is a joint venture comprised of individual cattle operations in Kentucky and Middle Tennessee.  Each of our partners operates their own registered Gelbvieh/Balancer seedstock program.   The Alliance was formed with the intention of providing beef producers with the best genetics our individual programs have to offer in a consolidated production sale.  As a group, the Alliance would rank among the top five largest operations in the American Gelbvieh Association.  We strive to offer some of the very best Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle available anywhere in North America. 

Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle are well known for modest birth weights, growth, maternal and reproductive strength, and quiet dispositions.  Simply put, we believe these traits and this breed will improve the profitability of any commercial cattle operation.  The American Gelbvieh Association is a growing organization dedicated to the continued success of the Gelbvieh and Balancer breeds.  We encourage everyone to visit the American Gelbvieh Association website to learn more about Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle. 

Our production sales and online sales include some of the very best genetics our individual operations have to offer.  The Alliance partners screen each animal carefully before it is included in our sale offering.  The screening process involves a phenotypic evaluation for structural correctness and soundness.  Expected progeny differences (EPD) are closely evaluated.  Sale animals have genetically enhanced EPDs based on DNA sampling.  This ensures that we provide our buyers with the most accurate EPD information available for making their decisions.  Our partners also evaluate each animal’s individual performance to eliminate any potential issues. 

We thank you for taking the time to visit our website and encourage you to visit our partner pages through the links provided.  Contact us if you would like to schedule a visit with any of our partners.  We look forward to assisting you with your genetic needs.
