First I’d like to thank each and every one of who purchased Goldrush Genetics in the dispersal sale and the many years before. Even with the economy and the late harvest, we had great sale. Cattle sold to all corners in the USA.  I knew going into the sale I’d probably not sell all of the bull calves at that early date especially since harvest was late and most of my commercial customers were still in the field with a long way to go.

I have been asked by many of my bull buyers  “Where will I get the same type of bull in the future?”   I will be working with a select group of breeders who I have worked closely with in the past and who have the same philosophy and breeding program as mine. For those of you looking for the same quality of carcass and DNA breeding that Goldrush Genetics cattle has supplied in the past, you can trust these breeders to supply your needs.   I plan on helping these breeders with their nutritional and genetic programs and they have some of the best Goldrush Genetics cows now in their herd. I know and trust these breeders.  In closing, I’d like to thank you all one more time and let you know that Goldrush Genetics will still be here to help as your genetic supplier .

"We sell cattle on the grid and Goldrush bulls produce profitable calves.  In 2002, our steers posted a 3.53 ADG and a 5.83 dry matter conversion.  They also graded 74% Choice and 97% Yield Grade 2's or 3's.  The 2003 steers had a 3.37 posted ADG and a 6.06 dry matter conversion with 75% Choice and 92% YG 2's and 3's."  Don Jirsa, Milford NE

"Mike Hynek was integrating carcass traits into his program long before other breeders realized the necessity.  This dedication to keeping birth weight down while having tremendous weaning weights, adding in the carcass traits to the mix with a structurally sound animal benefits me, the customer."  Jerry Glaser, Spalding, NE
