Each year the Canadian Gelbvieh Association is pleased to recognize those Gelbvieh cows which excel in productivity, the heart of the breed. There are two levels of recognition which are honoured: Dam of Merit and Dam of Distinction.

Cows that calve as two year olds and have a healthy calf every year for ten to twelve years have a great lifetime efficiency than cows that must be culled at a younger age because of infertility, bad udders, or some other functional problem. Longevity is esential. Cows that get their job done, year after year, with no problems, simply make them more money.

In order for a cow to be recognized as a Dam of Merit, she must:

• Have produced at least three calves, and all calves must have weaning information reported to the CGA.
• Have produced her last calf during the January to March time period.
• Possess a minimum average weaning ratio for all calves of 100.
• Have a calving interval not exceeding the maximum. (Contact the CGA office for details.)
• The female's age at first calving must not exceed 25 months.
• All data on females must have been submitted by July 1.

The Canadian Gelbvieh Association is proud to honour these great matrons of the breed.
