Gelbvieh and Balancer Cattle offer maternal superiority through increased longevity, added fertility, and more pounds of calf weaned per cow exposed. Gelbvieh and Balancer females offer a reduced mature cow size, more maternal milk, greater calving ease, and reach puberty at an earlier age. The American Gelbvieh Association even offers a stayability EPD that predicts the probability that a bull's daughter will stay within a herd to at least six years of age. Visit Gelbvieh.org

Now here's Rod Gray of Grays Angus Ranch in Harrison, Nebraska, on how they're helping out with the recent wildfires.

You decided to donate something, didn't you?

Yeah, we've decided to help with the Sandhills Fire Relief Fund. We're going to donate a heifer. It's going to be a rollover auction and we're going to roll over four times. And then on the fifth time, we're going to sell there and whoever has that high bid on the heifer. It's a registry angus heifer. We took her out of her replacements to help support the fire fund.

Now for those folks who aren't familiar with the Sandhills, how close were you to that fire?

We're about 120 miles from the fire. We weren't real close at all. The fire fund we are supporting is Nebraska Sandhills Ranchor Fire Relief Fund out of Oshkosh. The checks will be written to them directly. They'll be able to bid through DV auction or here on the ranch home person if they're at the sale.

That sale is today, March 30th, GraysAngusRanch.com. Find it on DV auction.

The conversation with Rod Gray of Gray's Angus Ranch in Harrison, Nebraska revolves a heifer donation organized to support the Sandhills Fire Relief Fund. A unique fundraising strategy involves donating a registered Angus heifer to a rollover auction that will be held simultaneously. The heifer will be auctioned multiple times before the final sale, with the high bidder eventually owning the heifer. The auction aims to generate significant contributions to aid the fire-impacted Nebraska Sandhills Rancher Fire Relief Fund, which provides assistance following devastating fires in the region. The event will be accessible both in-person and online via DV auction.

The sale is scheduled for March 30th at the newly acquired Windy Acres Sale Barn, with the expectation of good weather. The event will feature 30 two-year-old bulls and yearling bulls, alongside 30 heifer calves to be sold in groups. For those unable to attend physically, alternatives through online bidding are provided, ensuring broader participation. Hale Broadcasting expresses their commitment to promoting the event, emphasizing the importance of each additional bidder in making the sale successful.

Concerns are raised about fires 120-130 miles away, affecting local ranchers, although significant livestock losses haven't been reported yet. Efforts include reaching out to various businesses for additional support. There is optimism about raising $5,000 to $7,000, with expectations of the heifer itself fetching $3,000 to $4,000. Hale Broadcasting is facilitating the event’s promotion and communication, ensuring interested parties can participate and contribute through a simple process on their platform.

Galen Frenzen, at 82, has a storied history in the cattle industry dating back to 1957, when he and his brother were introduced to Hereford heifers by their father. Over the years, Frenzen expanded the business with a variety of cattle breeds, experimenting with exotics and transitioning to a focus on Angus cattle after marrying into an Angus-oriented family. He reflects on past trends, such as the shift to larger cattle in the 1960s and the challenges with dwarfism, exotics, and the evolution towards a more moderate animal in response to market extremes.

Frenzen remains committed to traditional breeding practices, focusing on genetically sound and well-rounded animals actively involved in seed stock operations. He prides himself on not overindulging with feeding supplements, advocating for a survival-of-the-fittest approach in which cattle are naturally developed without inflated fattening practices. The operation tests bulls later in life, ensuring they remain functional and desirable in competitive markets without excessive conditioning, emphasizing animal adaptability and longevity over immediate appearance.

Galen Frenzen is gearing up for an upcoming cattle sale featuring various breeds and age groups, including 75 Angus bulls, 40 Herefords, one Semitol, along with yearling heifers and two-year-old pairs. The sale is scheduled for March 24th, utilizing both in-person and online platforms to accommodate weather-related constraints.
