FLYING H GENETICS HERD BULL SALE      MARCH 1, 2008  Arapahoe, NE

Welcome to our 28th annual Quality Guaranteed Herd Bull Sale.  A tremendous amount of change has occurred since 1980, a lot has changed just since last year.  Change is now normal, the only question is how fast changes will occur.  Part of our job as your Full Service Seed Stock provider is to sift through the hype, find the new technologies and tools that helps us identify better genetics and then utilize them to give you the best genetics and information to help you select the best bulls for your ranch. That is what we have done in offering you DVD videos of every bull and DNA results for color and carcass traits on every bull. Feed efficiency is another area we are exploring and hope to have good data to supply by next year. What about good, old-fashioned genetic matings and breeding goals.  For years we have promoted our minus/plus genetic selections and our 17 Quality Standards that eliminates unacceptable genetics. Has it worked?  Please look at the genetic trends printed and explained elsewhere in the catalog. They show why Flying H Genetics are superior – and how you benefit from our disciplined selection pressure for many generations. That commitment continues, we just have more tools to help us improve on more traits more accurately. The basics are the same – eliminate unacceptable genetics in all traits to make this business as fun and profitable as possible. We have been doing that for over 50 years and with the next generation on board, we will continue to provide you with the best genetics, selection and service possible.  Join us for another day of fun, family, food and future genetic progress on March 1st. Until then, call or email with any questions and Take Care.
