It is of the utmost importance to keep our clientele and interested parties up to date with events within our herd, as well as the
 interaction between our herd and other stud and commercial herds. We summarized our history in diagrams for this purpose.
Our survival depends directly on the economical advantages that Gelbvon genetics transfer to the commercial breeder's herd and he's economical successes.  The Balanced approach to breeding with the emphasis on functional traits, resulted in a highly efficient cow herd with exceptional mothering abilities, as well as male animals with the necessary growth potential.
