Welcome to the Heart of America Gelbvieh Association!

We’re glad you’ve found your way to the official website and online breeder’s directory of the Heart of America Gelbvieh Association (HAGA). Whether you're a long-time Gelbvieh breeder, a commercial cattle producer, or just beginning your journey in the beef industry, this site is designed to be your trusted resource for high-quality Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle across Missouri and beyond.

Why Gelbvieh?
Gelbvieh cattle are widely recognized for their unmatched maternal strengths—outstanding fertility, longevity, and exceptional milk production. These traits translate directly into heavier, healthier calves at weaning and greater profitability for your operation. In addition to their productivity, Gelbvieh cattle are known for their gentle disposition, making them a pleasure to manage and a smart addition to any herd.

Discover the Power of Balancers
Balancer cattle—registered hybrids combining Gelbvieh with Angus or Red Angus genetics—offer the best of both worlds. These cattle retain the maternal excellence of Gelbvieh while adding the carcass quality, marbling, and marketability of Angus. This powerful heterosis results in cattle that excel in both maternal efficiency and terminal performance, making Balancers a popular and profitable choice for today’s commercial operations.
