Welcome to Gateway Genetics!

Thank you for taking the time to review our first annual bull offering. We know you have plenty of options this time of year when selecting your newest herd sires but we would like to take this chance to invite you to compare the quality, value, and service available here before you make your selections this spring. These are historically great times in the beef business and there has never been a better time to enhance your program with the addition of some strong and fresh genetics like our best yearling bulls selling here. They’re good and they’ll all sell March 4th!

We’ve been working hard to get to this point and, with the well-proven strength and depth of our donor battery plus the addition of some key females in the past year, we’re finally ready to present the best of our genetics to you. Though this is our first auction, we’ve been selling bulls for years and it has been gratifying to watch our cattle succeed in the programs of others; nothing makes us happier than our customers’ success. It’s our ultimate goal. Thank you to everyone that has supported us along the way; without your trust and support none of this would be at all possible.

Our goal has always been to breed and present the best quality cattle possible, regardless of breed composition. We focus on disposition, structure, performance, and eye appeal; we need them versatile and good or we cannot sell them. All of the bulls selling here have met our standards for quality before being offered for sale, and we believe each of them has their place in improving the next generation. Recently we acquired the Reynoldson Simmental herd and expanded our ET production in order to produce the volume our customers have requested. We’re still focused on quality over quantity but we’ve grown to serve you better and we will continue to do whatever is required to further our program and yours.

We’re excited to host you in our new sales center outside Pierce, NE. The bulls may be seen there anytime prior to the auction, and we invite you to stop in anytime. We’d love to walk you through the bulls and discuss ways that we can work together to improve both our outfits. We’ll have internet and telephone bidding available if you cannot attend the auction, but we surely hope you do however, because these bulls deserve your attention and we want your business.

Here’s to an easy-calving spring and an even better 2012!
