Producers, I am Dr. Nathan Hopkins. I own a mixed animal practice in Beaver City, Nebraska and I have had the pleasure of working with Powerline Genetics for the past 7 years. The bulls that are presented to you for purchase have had thousands of hours of preparation that started long before the clipping and grooming for sale. It all starts with the matings of dams and sires that match well, and have proven genetics that work, to the elite vaccination, nutrition, and health status that is maintained, and finally to the extensive DNA and feed efficiency tests that are done. When all of these parameters and decisions come together a product is produced that is guaranteed to perform in your operation on the ranch, to the feedlot, and later on to the rail. I am proud to say that I have tested these bulls and stand behind them knowing the effort that has been put into these animals. There is a bull here for you!
