Welcome Customers, Friends, & Supporters!
This sale brings about great optimism and opportunity to continue to leave our mark on the cattle business. You’ve heard me say it before, but our mission is to make the cattle business better than we found it, and continue to bring premier genetics to offer that would make prior generations extremely proud.
We all know the challenges we’re facing and we definitely don’t want to discount that fact, but we also need to remain focused on the great opportunities as members of the beef industry we have in front of us! At Powerline Genetics we pride ourselves on the fact that QUALITY COUNTS and VALUE MATTERS. We aim to offer cattle with performance traits in conjunction with rancher conveniences and back them all up with genetic potential to exceed the expectations in feeding environments and herd replacement needs.
We remain focused on cattle that are generally recognized as the “good kind” regardless of what breed you prefer. We believe in the benefits of crossbreeding and the heterosis it brings to “amp” up any herd and not change the integrity of what you want your cattle to be. We remain focused on bulls that sire progeny that allow for conveniently born live calves with size and vigor to get them through the toughest conditions. We expect consistent growth and performance to maximize weaned potential, and we continue to seek extended maturity and longevity for both feeding and replacement environments.
The March Edition features large sire groups from industry leaders like Eagle, Favor, Ashland, Growth Fund and Stellar as well as exciting new genetics to PLG; Innovator 533H, Hard Right, Manifesto, VIP, and Checkmate. The development of the embryo program at the Meyring Ranch has allowed for an offering of some high-profile pedigrees as well. We begin with the end in mind, and regardless of whether they are Simmental or Angus sired, we strive to offer a uniform set of bulls with genetic potential to the customers we serve. This set of cattle can work anywhere and pay dividends!
To all our past customers, THANK YOU, for believing in Powerline Genetics. Each of you are why we love the business. As always keep us informed on your feeder cattle marketings. The results we’re seeing from the PLG sired progeny at harvest continue to validate the cattle we are offering are doing the right things. For those, new to us, we always welcome new conversations and the potential for new relationships!
On behalf of Powerline Genetics THANK YOU for your consideration.

Reading the Data
The cattle in this offering have been DNA sire verified, tested for coat color, and BVD tested. DNA was ran using the 100k panel to generate Genomically Enhanced EPDs. EPDs were pulled during the week of February 14th, 2023. Bulls that land in the top 35% of the breed for a given value or EPD have been highlighted in GREEN. Bulls were ultrasounded on January 31st, and those in the sale that scanned with a 3.0 or higher marbling score and a 14.0 inch or larger ribeye, have their values identified in GREEN as well. The diagram below indicates which traits to look at based on your end goals. We identify the amount of Simmental each bull possesses, and that value is a combination of registered and commerical Simmental when applicable. All embryo transfer bulls have ET in their Performance Date birthweight box.

Embryo Calves
Flushing cows has become a popular method for raising geneticly superior animals in a shorter amount of time. Many call this genetic progress because unlike other species that have numerous births a year, a cow can phyiscally only have one. During the flushing process, a donor cow is superovulated and then artificialing inseminated with semen from a bull of the breeder’s choosing. After so many days, those fertilized embryos are recovered, where they are either frozen or placed into a recipient cow. That recip cow will be the surrogate mother to the calf once it is born. Due to the environmental factors associated with that recip, the calf once it is born does not follow the same performance guidelines as natural calves or get included in contempory groups. Therefore, we recommend that when studying the bulls in the offering that are identified with ET in their birthweight, that you not only look at their physical birthweight values, but you also utilize the EPDs provided for calving ease and birthweight.

Yes, this guy is one slot out of catalog order, but I thought he and his picture deserverd the extra space. He hit the picture pen, and we were like “wow,” this guy is pretty good. Simply put, he looks like a herd bull.

In my opinion, this is another combination bull that has the potential to do it all. When you study him, you will think cow maker, but when you combine his build and design with his performance and scan data, the possibilities are endless.
We have been purchasing Powerline Genetics for over 10 years, and we keep coming back. PLG bulls are mild mannered and easy to handle both horseback and on the ground. They throw calves that gain! We are pleased with the calves from the moment they hit the ground to the moment they step on the truck and once they hit the bunk…they never look back.
