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.

Cattlemen, Since my herd dispersal in 2008 I have been working with a few select breeders with my genetics to keep up the total genetic package we spent over 20 years developing. Bar IV Livestock in Cold Springs, KY have a few select cows which I own and they run on shares for me, together we have a group of bulls to offer this year which are quite outstanding. To start off with, they are all fall born calves and will be 18 months old (or older) by spring breeding season. The added maturity lets them cover more cows and have less injuries too. They have been bred for calving ease, growth and outstanding carcass genetics, and the maternal side of Gelbvieh goes without saying! Over the years the Gelbvieh Assoc. have changed where the EPD’s values are calculated and well as the values themselves. The milk for example does not give you a real value for milk anymore, it is more a value on daughters weaning weight than milk itself. It was always a subjective EPD’s but now it becomes more confusing. The cows in this herd are somewhere between average to heavy milkers, yet many have lower milk EPD’s. Bottom line, don’t worry about these bulls taking real milk out of their daughters. (they are bred to perform or bred to put money in your pocket ) The ET calves are out the famous F42, the dam of Bar IV’s herdsire “Levi” and “Goldrush Visa”, which was in the top 2 bulls in the breed for registrations for over 6 years and still in the top 12 today! These ET calves are at the ranch in Guide Rock and the rest of the bulls are in KY. If you select any bulls Barry will bring them out to Nebraska in April or May. As always, a sight unseen purchase is guaranteed, if you don’t like the bull you don’t own him!! Just a little update, since dispersing the herd I have started Hynek Construction, LLC We sell and build grain bins and grain bin equipment. My dad was in this business for over 40 years and I have picked up where he left off. The last few years have been very busy with grain bins, both large and small (and just a touch of herd consulting ). If I can be of any service to you in these areas, please feel free to call. Sincerely, Mike Hynek P.S. We are still selling Goldrush Genetics semen also. Click here to view our semen sires and give us a call to access the finest Gelbvieh Genetics available! |

FROM THE CUSTOMER: "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 |
