In 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

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

AGA Board of Directors from the 1970s.

Kathy Baughman was 18-years-old when she

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

Submitted by Jim Thomas


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.

The first meeting

of the AGA was held

at the Tulsa State Fair

in Tulsa, Oklahoma,

that fall. The articles

of incorporation were

presented and ratified,

by-laws were discussed

and partially assembled.

It was decided by the

group that officers

were to be elected

for the association

and determine a

location for the office

to be established.

Gallagher Rule was

elected President,

Mitch Dobson was

elected Vice President,

Fred Tweitmeyer was

elected Secretary, and

Merle Buss was elected

Treasurer, Edd Pritchett

was appointed the legal

counsel for the AGA, a

position he held until

his retirement in 2014.

During that time, from

1971 to 2014, there was

never a lawsuit brought

on the AGA, a record of

achievement no other

breed association

can claim.

At the meeting of the AGA it

was decided to raise money charter

memberships would be sold for

$500. The charter memberships

were to be limited to 25. The

office of the AGA was established

in Gallagher Rule’s dairy barn in

Newkirk, Oklahoma. Gallagher’s

secretary, Kathy Baughman, was

hired as the first secretary of the

AGA. She worked half a day for the

dairy and the rest of the day for

the AGA.

Kathy has a couple interesting stories of her time as the secretary of the

newly-formed AGA. Since she was the only person working for the AGA, when

breeders would call in she would answer the phone and take their request

for service. She would politely tell them she would transfer them to the

department they asked for. She would then put the phone on hold and answer

it as the department requested. These were instructions from Gallagher to

make the association office seem larger than it actually was.

Kathy also said she never knew what to expect when she came to

work. Who, what, or how many she would be sharing the office with. Baby

calves born during the night at the dairy were common visitors at the AGA

office. So being a nurse maid and a secretary were common place for the

first secretary, and being a farm girl she was delighted with the position.

Being bored was never a problem. She said she received one perk while she

worked for the AGA. She set up the first national convention in Fort Worth,

Texas, and reserved 200 rooms for the convention. After she got everyone

registered and checked in, much to her surprise, there was not a room in

the hotel for her. After doing some negotiating with the manager, she was

given the presidential suite for the convention period at no charge to her or

the AGA. When the AGA decided to move the office to Denver, she was ask to

go, but upon going to Denver and looking around, this Oklahoma farm girl

decided to stay in Oklahoma.

His pedigree on the maternal side descends from some of the best low birth, highly maternal sire lines in the Angus breed. His sire, Connealy In Focus 4, is a maternal half brother to the original Connealy Consensus bull, both descending from Blinda of Conanga 004, who was

the $65,000 pick of the herd female from the Connealy sale. On the maternal side of 5091C, you’ll find TAU Ty and Power Pac, influential sires of our many-time champion pen bulls. This bull combines it all, power, substance, structure, depth of rib and numbers into a terrific looking package.

When people visit the farm to look at cattle this young cow, Clinch Mt Ms Impact 1339A, is the one who keeps coming to the top and then they start talking about her near-perfect conformation and phenotype with that beautiful udder. We were fortunate to obtain weaned heifers from John Loy of Clinch Mt. Gelbvieh a short time ago, and this one has become special. 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.

As one can see, this cow has a beautiful udder and outstanding phenotype. Her sire, BCFG Butlers Impact 549U, sold for $14,000.00 in Clinch Mt.’s dispersal as an aged bull and his progeny were in great demand as they topped their sale. This young cow is a moderate, easy-fleshing female with loads of potential. Keep her Purebred or breed her Balancer. Do not overlook this opportunity.

TAU Girl Crush 5032C is the homozygous polled, homozygous black Balancer female from the very top of the Taubenheim extraordinary program. This complete and total program excels in all aspects of seedstock production, and years of selection pressure has resulted into one of the most consistent and efficient herds of pedigreed beef cattle in North America. The best Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics have been incorporated into the breeding plan, and the results are obviously noted when appraising the herd firsthand.

One of the greatest of all Angus breeding sires is the sire of this Balancer female, Conneally Consenesus 7229. The genetic influence of this proven multiple trait-leading bull is well-documented within the purebred, hybrid and commercial industries of the beef genetics industry.

Her dam, TAU Miss Gunnison 106R 8101U, is one of the most powerful and prolific donor females in the Gelbvieh industry. Her influence is the major driving force behind the genetics in the Taubenheim herd.

TAU Girl Crush 5032C is balanced for both phenotype and genotype, and she offers much breeding consistency to the industry.

Maria is a combination of two of our top cow families—AHL Hott Damn 31L and BABR Secret Crush, and is a maternal sister to BABR Branded Man 3400A who is proving to sire low birth high performing cattle. We calved our first set of Secret Brand daughters this past spring and they were all easy-fleshing, soft-made with near-perfect teat and udder placement. If you look at the calving, birth weight, performance and marbling on both the top and bottom side of this pedigree you will find a consistent low birth weight, big performance numbers and a marbling score that ranges from 3.0 to 3.5 on average from all progeny. This is a female that meets the demands set by both our commercial customers and seedstock peers.

This Balancer female is from one of the strongest performance lines in the Pearson Cattle Company, and a full brother to this female weaned off the cow at 877 pounds this fall. This full brother, in turn, will follow in her footsteps next year as the Balancer show bull for the Pearson Cattle Company. The phenotype, look, power and structure are all impeccable in this female and cow family.

This female is a perfect blend of the best genetics available in the Balancer gene pool. The Pearson program has been one of the constant sources of the breed’s best genetics, and with the contributions from the program, the genetics enhance the genetic profile of the National Gelbvieh Sale.

This young Balancer female is representative of the Dobson program and is offered as a significant breeding piece for this National Sale. The homozygous polled daughter of JRI Next Step 285X72 is steeped in calving-ease and marbling EPDs, and she is a blend of the best Balancer blood available in the industry. Her fertile and productive dam traces back to the impressive Angus genetics that have been instrumental in elevating the quality of the entire Balancer breeding program at Dobson Ranch. The genetic contribution of Limestone Dark Horse has been intensely measured through the females that trace to the great breeding sire within the Dobson herd.

This genetic excellence that is represented within the pedigree of this excellent lot can be found in different combinations throughout the Dobson herd. Her paternal sister, MDR Clara Allen 520C, is one of the strongest contenders in the Dobson show string, and she was selected as the Grand Champion Gelbvieh Female at the Dixie National and American Royal. The female selling as this Dobson Ranch entry in the National Gelbvieh Sale has far-reaching possibilities as a productive and efficient cow.

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. Retaining the right to one flush at the purchaser’s convenience.

A choice offering of six full ET sisters from the mating of BEA Closer and PLA Starburst 01X ET. These 75% Balancer heifers are all high-performing, sound-structured and all have a lot to offer the Gelbvieh industry. They have all been tested homozygous polled and have genomic EPDs. These full sisters have much to offer in a unique way. When asked which one I liked best, I wasn’t sure I had the answer so we decided to let you make that decision. The Starburst cow has proven to be one of the really good donor cows in the Gelbvieh breed, producing show heifers that have won across the country. Rosie 312A was calf champion in Denver and was Reserve Champion that year in the National Junior Show plus was Reserve Champion at the NAILE in Louisville, KY. Lola was also the Reserve Champion that year in the Junior Balancer Show at NWSS, she was a class winner earlier that summer at the Junior National Show. Starburst also produced the Champion or Reserved Champion at the Black Hills Stock Show three years in a row. She has been mated to Angus, Balancer, and Gelbvieh bulls and no matter what you mate her to it just flat works. Her bull calves have sold to purebred herds and are favorites of most commercial breeders.

GDX Daisy is a very attractive, feminine made female. She is smaller framed and will be one of those easy-keeping kind that has a calf about as big as her every year. Long fronted and smooth down her top, this heifer just gives you that cow

look. Daisy has a bit more calving ease in her numbers and will moderate a lot of bigger framed bulls. A very complete and attractive female, this one will work any place in the country.

When people visit the farm to look at cattle this young cow, Clinch Mt Ms Impact 1339A, is the one who keeps coming to the top and then they start talking about her near-perfect conformation and phenotype with that beautiful udder. We were fortunate to obtain weaned heifers from John Loy of Clinch Mt. Gelbvieh a short time ago, and this one has become special. 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.

As one can see, this cow has a beautiful udder and outstanding phenotype. Her sire, BCFG Butlers Impact 549U, sold for $14,000.00 in Clinch Mt.’s dispersal as an aged bull and his progeny were in great demand as they topped their sale. This

young cow is a moderate, easy-fleshing female with loads of potential. Keep her Purebred or breed her Balancer. Do not overlook this opportunity.

VLK C500 IVY

VLK C500 Ivy was the 2016 South Dakota State Fair Champion Balancer female. While Ivy was not the overall supreme champion, she was selected as one of the top seven finalists. Both judges commented on her power and performance while maintaining an attractive feminine profile. Look through her Genomic EPDs and we think you’ll be impressed—Top 1% for WW, YW,

CW, FPI; Top 2% for REA, Top 3% CEM, Top 5% TM, Top 10% MB, Top 15% CED. Her growth and carcass numbers, coupled with calving-ease-direct, make her a leader in the breed. In addition, she is homozygous black and homozygous polled, guaranteeing every calf to be black and polled. Her dam was a powerhouse Sledgehammer cow who only had two progeny before we unfortunately lost her. Ivy is a beautiful low percentage, easy-fleshing female who can be bred up to make some high quality higher percentage progeny. A truly complete female who does it all. She is set to calve March 3. A full-sib bull has been working the Beastrom/Spencer Ranch for two years.

Terms of flush: Flush will be performed at the buyer’s expense and seller’s convenience. Donor will be flushed to the sire of the buyer’s choice. Seller will guarantee six transferable embryos with a maximum of 10. Any embryos over 10, the buyer will have the option to purchase the embryos at a prorated price or split the embryos with the seller. Seller will guarantee 3 pregnancies. Seller reserves the right to select the location of the flush and the embryologist.
