Maternal Magic

The “Maternal Magic” logo was designed to emphasize the importance TJB Gelbvieh has always placed on the dominant power female. In a maternal breed such as Gelbvieh, we believe we can increase our consistency by stacking time tested maternal pedigrees.

The Vickie Vail Family

Vickie Vail was purchased from Beartooth Ranch in 1997. We first saw this female on a ranch visit in 1991. She was a tremendous Gelbvieh female whose image was even used by the AGA for their promotion of the Gelbvieh cow. We had no idea at the time, the impact this cow would have on our program. It seems that in our post-dispersal era, her progeny are the best represented from our original cow families. She has undoubtedly become the most dominant female in our history to date. Her progeny excel in growth, structural soundness, and eye appeal.

TJB Velvet Moon 226M-ET

(Vanessa/Red Alert)

 

Lot 1 in Southern Heritage III; she sold for ½ interest for $14900. She is a flush mate to the 2003 NAILE Heifer Futurity Champion and is the epitome of a true beef cow. She has tons of rib and depth and is structurally flawless. She has a big foot and lots of milk! Her daughters by Matrix are the anchors of our next generation.

 

 

 

TJB Vanessa 471P-ET

(Vanessa/Masterpiece)

 

471P is the only cow we chose not to sell in the dispersal believing her true potential at the time was yet to come. It was also our belief that the Masterpiece females would prove to be some of the best in the industry. 471P carries on the tradition of her illustrious granddam, Vickie Vail, displaying tremendous eye appeal and soundness.

Look for the influence of her daughter, 914U, sired by Lookout. She will be a future highlight.

 

 

 

 

TJB Venus 242M-ET

(Vickie Vail/Freedom)

 

Venus sold for $11100 in SH III. We were able to continue to utilize this cow in our program. Phenotypically, she is the most like Vickie Vail on the profile.  

Her young progeny on the ground sired by Frontman are many and exciting!

 

 

 

RHRT Vickie Venessa X1N1

(Vickie Vail/Freedom)

 

We purchased this direct daughter of Vickie from our long time friends and supporters, Bob and Mona Hart of Hartland Farm in Missouri. We believe it is in our best interest to assemble as many Vickie Vail daughters as possible.
