Wilkinson Gelbvieh Ranch

11/06/2024

After last night’s flyover of 5 military helicopters (low enough to vibrate the windows), the bull calves had an adventure! Luckily nothing was hurt and Bill got the corner repaired and we got them in and sorted. Now they are back in their pen and back to eating.

Weaning - Round 1. The bulls from this bunch and the ones from Round 2 are out on feed now. Steers are sold and heifers are out in the pasture waiting for the first sort. Slowly getting the fall work done!

Taking the heifers back to their pasture!

CONCRETE, CONCRETE, CONCRETE (i.e. $$$). After 30+ years, we are finally getting a concrete floor in the barn - complete with a future bathroom and, of course, a big space - still dirt - for show cattle!! (Oh, and another feed bunk line, too!)

Moving cattle to new pastures!

Moving cattle through the blooming cholla cactus is always pretty, but even better when a cool breeze picks up! (The blooms will be full force in a few weeks!)

I don’t know if an 11:1 ratio would work in today’s childcare facilities, but this cow definitely has things under control!

Update - located in SE Colorado. Gelbvieh and Balancer replacement heifers for Sale. All are guaranteed open (vet checked) and Ultrasounded. Some are registered Gelbvieh and Blaancers, others are from the commercial herd. These are good heifers - the culls from the heifer crop were sold after weaning, so these remaining are pretty high quality. We just can’t keep them all!

It was a great Sale Day yesterday and we have so much to be thankful for. The weather was beautiful, our repeat customers were there, as well as some new ones, and the new format with DVAuction and our auctioneer worked seamlessly. The bulls averaged $5360 and the heifers, $3200. Thanks for everyone's confidence in our cattle, as well as your patience, as we continue to look at more ways to improve our offering and logistics of the Sale. You are truly the best! - Bill, Nancy and Sydney

Btw. We are not in my kitchen! Haha! This is our new “overflow, multi-purpose” building that had to serve this year as a somewhat temporary sale facility! It was a little tight but it had high speed internet and a bathroom! 😃😃😃

Probably the last bull I will highlight before the Sale, but we think he's kind of special. He got his mom's front end and his sire's mass -- just a cool kind of guy! BNW Lunch Box 3112L

Taking a pause from all the Bull Sale promotion to show you some our cows (zoom in!) in their calving pasture! It’s certainly a pain to get to the new calves (and our Kawasaki repair guy does not understand!) - but with these spring storms, this country - with all this protection - is invaluable.

Still wanting to highlight some of the heifers. These 2 Rock daughters BNW 3052L and 3053L are "peas in a pod! They would make a great addition to any herd.

See them at DVAuction - https://www.dvauction.com/video_catalogs/9788

We will have 2 pens of Gelbvieh and Balancer heifers in the Sale (3/30/24), as well. Here is BNW 3004L - a pretty special BA75 out of BNW Hombre 0128H. This bunch of heifers are probably the deepest quality set of heifers we have ever sold. She offers a ton of breeding options - both with her breed percentage and EPD's.

Anyone out there needing a PB Gelbvieh heifer bull for those replacement heifers you are keeping or buying? Check them all out on March 30th at the Wilkinson Bull Sale, but specifically pay attention to these three: BNW 3101L, SYD 3102L and BNW 3103L. All are half brothers, out of At Ease A357, a proven calving ease sire himself. See the other videos on DVAuction.

This DLW Glory son definitely checks all the boxes. He is HOMO POLLED, with EPDS in the top 40% or better for just about every single EPD and Index in the book -- with a top 10% for FPI and 4% for MB. His ultrasound data backs it all up with a 106 ratio for REA, 101 for IMF and 100 for Backfat. And, he measured a 38 cm scrotal on the day before his 1st birthday! NOTE - PAP score of 32 so he's ready for the mountains, too!
