DARE TO BE DIFFERENT
from G+ CRC Spring 2023
The ability to survive within any industry requires great minds, plans, effort, capital, and a little bit of timing and luck. But we want our customers to do more than survive - we want them to thrive. At GENEPLUS, we understand the importance to adjust and adapt our process in order to stay one step ahead of the industry. We are the brand daring to break the mold. The breeders within GENEPLUS are partners by choice, not by chance. They made that choice because they vowed never to be satisfied with the status quo and adopted a model to build the best Brangus and Ultrablack bulls the world has ever seen.
The GENEPLUS focus on balance of performance and carcass merit, importance of genomics and EPD’s, emphasis on structure, foot design and fertility, and attention to a correct and industry accepted phenotype and sheath design, has led to a population of Brangus and Ultrablack cattle that is unlike any other. The notion that heat tolerance and durability are highly correlated to the increased amount of sheath or ear an animal possesses is as unrealistic as the belief that Brangus cattle can’t quality grade with Angus because of the Bos Indicus influence. Similarly, the notion that you have to receive discounts because of your “ear” in the Midwest and West is also genuinely false, and we have disproved all of these things through our customers’ experiences via our breeding program.
The key to overcoming these misconceptions is a focused and dedicated selection process. At GENEPLUS, we understand what the end goal needs to look like before we mate and make the next generation. You can use an Ultrablack in the Gulf Coast region if you choose, with the same or more success than a Brangus with a #3 sheath. You can also use a Brangus or Ultrablack bull in Missouri on fescue, sell the progeny to a Northern feedlot and top the market - it’s all about the selection process and knowing and understanding your environment.
The good news is that we have the experience and genetic toolbox to accomplish these goals and more. If you’re trying to maximize the return on your cowherd, you’re in the right place. We sell more bulls to more states than any other Brangus and Ultrablack breeder in America for one reason – because we built a product unmatched by any of our competitors. DARE TO BE DIFFERENT.
