Allied Genetic Resources Investing in your Success Our philosophy has always been to produce the most profitable cattle we can for you, our customer.

That is why we are excited to announce that the Brush Country Bull Group has invested in Allied Genetic Resources. Allied Genetic Resources is owned by over 25 of the most progressive seedstock operations in the country (together they would sell far more seedstock than anybody), but what makes this company unique is that it was created solely to help you be more profitable and to help us provide you with better customer service. Allied Genetic Resources (Allied) was created to help you market your cattle more effectively, and to help you reach your own individual goals for your operation. We are excited about the opportunity to leverage the strength, size and scope of this group to provide improved outlets for your cattle. You will be hearing much more about Allied moving forward as it will be an integral part of our customer service and marketing assistance program. The Brush Country Bull Group is committed to your success and believes that Allied will help us in that regard.
