Welcome to another episode of the American Cattlemen Podcast and our Producer Profile. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, the Publisher of American Cattlemen, and Mason Fleener with GG Genetics. The business began in 1986 when Mason purchased red heifers in Montana, eventually building their own sale barn and feedlot. Over the years, they've developed a reputation for producing high-quality Angus cattle with a focus on efficiency and genetic excellence. The upcoming Superior Taste Performance Bull and Female Sale will feature 60 yearling Angus bulls, 30 Angus females, including 10 bred cows, purebred heifers, and commercial heifers. Mason emphasized the unique qualities of their cattle, particularly their focus on low dry matter intake without sacrificing growth or marbling potential. The operation prides itself on producing bulls with excellent calving ease, disposition, and carcass characteristics. A key differentiator for GG Genetics is their commitment to high-marbling bulls. Mason noted that 80% of their steers graded prime last year, highlighting the importance of marbling over simply having a large ribeye. The operation carefully selects bulls, never using one below breed average, and focuses on producing cattle that will perform well in commercial settings. The sale will be conducted through Superior Livestock, with some unique offerings including free delivery within 1000 miles and the option to keep bulls fed at the farm until July 1st. The event will feature a special lunch of Angus beef ribeye sandwiches grilled over charcoal, a tradition that has become almost as notable as the cattle themselves. Mason's approach combines scientific breeding with practical cattle management, creating a line of Angus cattle that are efficient, easy to handle, and genetically superior. The upcoming sale represents an opportunity for producers to access high-quality genetics that can improve their herds' overall performance and profitability.
