Top Dams of Merit AND Dams of Distinction! In September of 2023, Davidson Gelbvieh was, once again, recognized by the Canadian Gelbvieh Association (CGA) as the owner of 31 GELBVIEH COWS exhibiting the consistent maternal efficiency typical of "The Continental Breed of Choice". The CGA has designated these outstanding beef females as Dam of Merit and Dam of Distinction. The title "Dam of Merit" recognizes cows that meet strict selection criteria including early puberty and conception, regular calving intervals, and above-average weaning weights on at least three calves. Of the 4,893 active cows in the Gelbvieh breed, only 4.9 percent qualify for Dam of Merit. The "Dam of Distinction" honour recognizes cows that meet the same high standards for superior, long-term productivity with at least eight calves. Just 0.9 percent of all active Gelbvieh cows qualify for this elite group. Davidson Gelbvieh is proud to lead the Gelbvieh industry as the 2023 "No. 1 Owner". |

The great ones are always supported by great cow families! Her dam, a young first calf heifer, was very successfully exhibited last season! Her sire is CK Driller, who we have used extensively on our heifers for many years to sire those calves that are always born easily. With the positive impact of many replacement heifers retained here as replacements, Driller has been a steady producer! Homozygous black, homozygous polled, purebred heifer, born early in the calving season, this offering is bred to produce the kind we all want. Her actual weaning weight was 702 lbs. on Sept 12, 2022. |
