Elk Creek Gelbvieh

Elk Creek Gelbvieh raises purebred Gelbvieh cattle in Piedmont, South Dakota, situated in the Black Hills region near Rapid City. Phil VanDervoort and his family operate the program with a clear set of genetic priorities that have drawn buyers from across the Northern Plains and beyond.

The herd's focus centers on polled, homozygous black purebred Gelbvieh genetics. Calving ease has long been a defining priority for the program, and the VanDervoorts have used line breeding to concentrate those traits across generations. Cattle from this program are selected for maternal performance and carcass merit, with above-average EPDs recorded across traits including weaning weight, yearling weight, milk, stayability, and marbling.

Genomic testing has been part of the operation's approach to data-driven selection, giving buyers access to performance information at the point of purchase. For ranchers searching for Gelbvieh cattle for sale in South Dakota, Elk Creek Gelbvieh offers purebred bulls and heifers with pedigrees that appear consistently throughout the regional breed.
