2025 American Gelbvieh Association Ring of Gold Champions Announced
LINCOLN, Neb. – The American Gelbvieh Association (AGA) established the Ring of Gold program to honor the top animals shown at the conclusion of the show year. Points are earned from grand and reserve champions, as well as division champions and reserves, and are based on the actual number of animals shown at each show per division.
To honor those animals who have risen to the top during the show season, the Ring of Gold awards are presented to the top Gelbvieh female, Gelbvieh bull, Balancer female, and Balancer bull based on points awarded throughout the year. Animals must earn points in at least two shows to qualify for Ring of Gold points each year. The 2025 Ring of Gold qualified shows in either the Gelbvieh, Balancer or both divisions were the American Royal, Cattlemen’s Congress, Iowa State Fair, Missouri State Fair, National Western Stock Show, Nebraska State Fair, North American International Livestock Exposition, and the NILE Stock Show.
