| About Prairie Hills |
 |
| Prairie Hills Gelbvieh was started in 1985 with the purchase of two heifers from the Black Hills Stock Show. Later that spring more heifers were purchased from Taucks Gelbvieh and cows from Weber Gelbvieh. We have always tried to have a combination of performance with style. With that in mind DBC Grizzly Bear was purchased in Denver. He was one of the first polled show bulls in the breed with high performance. Later TAU Issac was added to the herd bull battery. He became a trait leader in yearling and weaning weight. |
Over the years, many of our goals and selections have remained the same with some changes being made to fit our environment and the changes in the beef industry. We still select for easy fleshing, thick cattle that are srtucturally sound and can adapt to our dry range conditions. With the high price of cattle, performance is a must, but on a moderate framed animal. |
| These are the traits that give us the type of cattle we are raise today. Herd bulls like PHG Fighting Irish and ELK Ck Formula are giving us the type of calves that come easy, yet wean off over 800 pounds. |
