WELCOME TO
SUSTAINABLE GENETICS
Our bulls emphasize the “mother cow”. When you get the cow right, everything else will fall into place. We subscribe to the words of the late Professor J.H. Knox, “every great bull had a great mother” and the more of them you can stack in a pedigree the better.
OUR MISSION
We are a repository of old line, maternal efficiency genetics from breeds that were originally established as “Mother Cow” and “Meat Quality” sources. Cow maintenance costs are the single largest expense the commercial cattle producer faces annually. Our sires can realistically help enhance the profitability of your operation.
Unlike mainstream emphasis on EPD’s that insinuate each succeeding generation is “superior” to the previous, the genetics we offer represent many generations of “old”, long-lived, regularly producing, problem free cows……those cows that drive profitability!
OUR GOALS
While a large majority of the industry continues ignoring reproduction in favor of feedlot performance and carcass yield, we offer you alternative “convenience trait” genetics with the understanding that –
Reproduction is estimated to be worth:
Times More than GROWTH Traits
Times More than CARCASS Traits

PINEBANK SOUTHEAST MARCHES ON.
We have just a handful of the latest crop of PSE bulls left, although we have a few of the very top end we hope to place in the right seedstock home. For more information, follow the link to Pinebank Southeast.
Forage Developed Heifer Pairs Available in April
Commercial Angus, Red angus and baldy young bred cows are available now. Most will feature grandsons’ of Calvo Warrior 50a. Please enquire if you need to add to or strengthen the efficiency of your herd.
Sustainable Genetics Heads North
We are pleased to announce a new partner in our efforts to preserve and promote the great maternal bloodlines that still thrive today. Gemstone Cattle Company, led by Arno and Daniel Doerksen of Gem, Alberta, have joined Sustainable Genetics as our Canadian distributors.
Their philosophy and efforts match our resolve to promote reproductive longetivity and net profit. The Doerksen’s work hard to build functional, sound cattle, and are great partners in the work of keeping ranchers profitable.
NOS DEFINE EL RIGOR CIENTÍFICO,
LA CALIDAD Y EL COMPROMISO
We are extremely pleased to welcome CABA (Argentine Animal Biotechnology Center), Dr. Juan Martin Narbaitz & Family (CABA) as our exclusive marketing representative in South America. We’ve been in discussions with Martin for several years regarding the sharing of genetics, philosophy & technology and we welcome this opportunity. We’ve had the good fortune of traveling with Martin & his son Dimo inspecting clientele herds and it is truly “uncanny” how our visual evaluation of beef cattle is so parallel! Their appreciation of the importance of “blood” (pedigree) and long lived problem free cows in the production model offers a platform for sustainability.
We continue expanding our beef (and dairy) bulls that are available for export.
Please contact CABA for your semen/embryo needs in South America.

CREATED OUT OF NEED
Our selection criteria for bulls we market semen from is quite simple:
Reproductive longevity is our highest priority.
The dams of our bulls must have calved at two years of age and must maintain a 365 day calving interval. We have a great appreciation for teenage cows as some of our bulls are from cow(s) families that produced into their teens and beyond.
We have selected bulls from programs that build their success around great cows. Often these cows can be found stacked in the pedigrees, creating bulls with Prepotency. You can be assured our bulls offer genetic integrity unmatched in today’s mainstream AI industry.
Our bulls have been selected from minimal input seedstock operations or sourced from the commercial industry. They originate from old, pure, time tested, problem free, forage based genetics.
