Quality Gelbvieh, Balancer, Angus, and Red
Angus Bulls are found at Goldrush Genetics. We maintain one of the most comprehensive breeding
programs in the industry. More than 90% of our calf crop every year is the
result of A.I. from more than 20 of the best sires in the Gelbvieh, Angus, and
Red Angus breeds. Every cow is strategically mated
to the best sires in the breed. Because we use proven genetics with high
accuracies, genetics from Goldrush are much more predictable. We invite
you to come Discover the Difference that Goldrush Genetics can make for you!
Cattlemen,
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."
