In today’s market, raising livestock isn’t enough. Whether you're running a cow-calf operation, a seedstock business, or managing commercial feeders, the question isn't just "How many head?" — it's "What are they worth per head, per pound, and per generation?"

That’s where genetics changes the game.

At our livestock genetics operation, we’re not chasing quantity. We’re building quality — animals with measurable performance traits that translate into lower input costs, higher weight gains, and better returns for you or your customers.

Let us take you behind the scenes.

Why Genetics Matter More Than Ever

Anyone can breed cattle, sheep, or goats — but profitable breeding requires intentional selection, discipline, and data.

Here’s what separates our herd:

✅ Genomic Testing: Every sire and dam in our program is selected for traits like calving ease, average daily gain (ADG), marbling scores, and maternal efficiency.
✅ Reproductive Efficiency: We use artificial insemination (AI), estrus synchronization, and planned matings to optimize outcomes.
✅ Culling Discipline: We don’t keep underperformers. Every retained heifer, bull, or wether meets a minimum production benchmark based on breed and market goals.

The result? Uniform, predictable, high-value offspring—not just animals that look good in the pasture.

From Data to Delivery: How Our System Works

Our genetics program is built on three pillars:

1. Selection

We invest in proven bloodlines — bulls and maternal lines with EPDs, carcass data, and production histories to back them up. We don’t gamble on potential. We bet on performance.

2. Production

Each mating is planned. Our AI program leverages top-tier semen, and our dams are managed with reproductive health in mind — from mineral programs to body condition scores (BCS).

3. Tracking

We monitor weaning weights, feed conversion ratios (FCR), conception rates, and more. By tracking traits across generations, we fine-tune the program every year — and pass that value on to our clients.
