Hillsdown Gelbvieh LTD.

Hillsdown Gelbvieh Ltd., operated by Eddie Marsman, raises purebred registered Gelbvieh cattle in Red Deer County, Alberta, situated in central Alberta roughly an hour south of Edmonton and about 30 minutes north of the city of Red Deer.

The herd's program centres on productivity and fertility, reflected in the number of homegrown Dam of Merit and Dam of Distinction cows carrying the HDG prefix. In 2017, the operation ranked fifth for productivity among all registered Gelbvieh herds across Canada, a benchmark that points to the consistency built into the cowherd over time.

Selection at Hillsdown emphasizes cattle capable of performing in extreme temperatures and rough terrain, with a focus on easy-fleshing, growthy calves. Top artificial insemination genetics are used alongside carefully retained replacement heifers and herd bulls to keep the calf crop uniform year to year. For producers in Alberta searching for Gelbvieh cattle for sale, the operation offers both polled and homo-polled bulls, including reds, across yearling and two-year-old age classes, all registered through the Canadian Gelbvieh Association.
