TAU NIGHT SHIFT 69H
Night Shift is one of the most heavily used Balancers in the breed for a reason. To start, the calving ease is real. His 315 registered progeny boast an average birth weight of 76lbs. His dam is an impeccable daughter of Leverage with a great udder and sound skeletal build. His progeny are stamped with a tremendous look of balance and longevity. For a heifer safe calving ease bull he is massive footed and good in his angles with plenty of body and muscle shape. Study his EPD profile and you will quickly see he offers a combination of calving ease, growth and carcass unmatched by any other. We feel Night Shift is a tremendous breeding piece that covers all the bases, use him this breeding season and reap the benefits for years to come.
13 sons averaged $10,615 for Taubenheim Gelbvieh in 2026 and many sons topped sales across the country in the 2025 sale season as well.

Abercrombie was one of the true highlights of our 2025 bull sale, ultimately rising to the top as the high seller with a commanding $29,500 hammer price. He is now working for the Green Hills Gelbvieh program. Abercrombie is, without question, one of the stoutest-made, deepest-middled bulls to ever go across our auction block. He impressed even the most critical breeders in attendance and drew significant attention across social media. We firmly believe a bull is only as strong as the cow power behind him, and Abercrombie’s pedigree is stacked with some of the best. His dam, 965G, is one of the most proven young donors in our program. And 921U—long a TJB household name—appears on both the top and bottom sides of his pedigree. We firmly believe Abercrombie is the kind of bull the breed has been searching for—one with the power, depth, and the maternal foundation to help move the breed forward.

HILLE D453 SON
Here is a bull from the Chimney Butte Ranch program that Martens Gelbvieh in Iowa originally purchased. We were lucky enough to purchase him in 2023 before cull prices took off and I think it was a steal especially after seeing his first set of calves hit the ground. DCH D453, aka Doug, is homo polled, black purebred that has 10 of 12 growth and maternal EPDs in the top 20% and 8 in the top 10%. On the carcass side he is top 25% for ribeye, top 30% for marbling, and top 20% FPI. He may be an older bull but is proven when you look at his progeny. Last year he had a son, GRU Mountain Time 2025M, top Grund Beef Genetics sale at $19,500 with two others going over $10,000. Martens Gelbvieh has sold multiple sons with the most notable one being GLM Hashtag# H11. Half of our replacement heifers are sired by him, and we expect the same for this year. Here is a chance to add some outcross genetics that are proven and safe to use on heifers.

American Gelbvieh Association EPDs and Economic Indexes
Calving Ease Direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.
Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.
Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers.
Heifer Pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant as first-calf heifers in a regular breeding season, expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPD is favorable, meaning that a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heifers compared to other sires in his contemporary group.
30-month Pregnancy (Pg30): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant and calve at three years of age, given that they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD is expressed as a percent, again, with a higher number being more favorable meaning a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age, given they calved as first-calf heifers.
Stayability (STAY): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.
Docility (DOC): Is reported as a percentage, with higher numbers indicating a higher percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile).
Scrotal Circumference (SC): Predicts the difference, in centimeters, of scrotal circumference of an animal’s male offspring at yearling compared to the SC of other animals’ male offspring.
Birth Weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.
Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.
Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.
Mature Weight (MWT): Body weight of cows adjusted to six years of age at body condition score 5. MWT is reported in pounds and is computed from a genetic model that leverages information from weaning weight, post-weaning gain, and mature weights of cows. Reported weights are adjusted for both age at observation and for body condition. Body weights of cows 2 to 12 years of age are utilized in the evaluation.
Cow Energy Requirement-Yearly (CERY): Mature body weight, lactation potential and birth weight are primary predictors of energy requirements. Mature Weight, Milk and Birth Weight EPD are utilized to inform prediction equations from beef cow nutrition research to estimate differences in energy requirement over a production year. The CERY EPD is reported in pounds of Total Digestable Nutrients (TDN) required for an age 6 cow.
Yield Grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.
Carcass Weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.
Ribeye area (CREA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.
Marbling (MARB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.
Fat (CFAT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.
Dry Matter Intake (DMI): The genetic difference in pounds of expected average daily dry matter intake of progeny.
$GAIN: Reports the difference in expected marginal value of gain less the cost of feed to achieve that gain. Reported in dollars of marginal profit with more positive values representing increased efficiency and profit.
Maternal Profit Index (MPI): In this production scenario, Gelbvieh bulls are mated to Angus-based cows with surplus calves marketed at weaning, with replacement heifers retained from the calf crop. EPDs weighted in this index are Calving Ease Direct (CED) and Maternal (CEM), Weaning Weight (WW), Milk (MILK), Mature Weight (MWT), Dry Matter Intake (DMI), Stayability (STAY), and Heifer Pregnancy (HP). Mature weight is the primary driver and represents the significant cost of maintenance energy requirement in the cow-calf sector. Weaning Weight and Milk (expressed in pounds of calf weaning weight) represent the principal revenue stream. Stayability helps account for differences in replacement costs in the system and the effect of heifer retention on revenue streams. This index should be used by commercial cattlemen whose production scenario includes the traditional marketing of calves at weaning and replacement retention from the herd.
Feeder Profit Index™ (FPI™): Envisioned as a completely terminal index, FPI assumes all calves are marketed as finished beef carcasses priced on a value-based grid. Thus, it shouldn’t be used in production scenarios where replacements are kept from these matings. The new FPI formulation more precisely weights Economically Relevant Traits (ERTs) available for selection, including the key carcass traits of Carcass Weight (CW), Ribeye Area (REA), and Dry Matter Intake (DMI) that were not included in the original formulation. The new FPI also weights Fat Thickness (CFAT), post-weaning Average Daily Gain (ADG), and Calving Ease Direct (CED). Carcass value determined by carcass weight, quality, and yield grade influencing traits accounts for approximately 75% of the index as principal revenue drivers. Dry Matter Intake (DMI) captures differences in expected costs to the terminal carcass endpoint.
Total Profit Index (TPI): Combining replacement female retention from the herd with carcass endpoint for marketed surplus heifers and all steers, TPI balances both maternal and terminal selection criteria. Because of the challenges faced by commercial cattlemen by the antagonisms in selection for this production scenario, TPI includes the largest and most diverse set of EPDs in the model, including carcass traits as the primary revenue drivers with cow Mature Weight (MWT), Stayability (STAY) and Dry Matter Intake (DMI) as cost drivers.
