Bos Sires Genetics
Built to Work. Bred to Last. Rooted in Legacy.
Bos Sires genetics aren’t about chasing trends or building bulls that look good on paper. We’re here to restore a standard—cattle that raise a calf every year, thrive on grass, stay sound, and make the operation more profitable without needing a crutch. We build cattle that don’t need a grain bucket or a hormone protocol to get the job done. Just genetics that thrive on forage, breed back without issue, and stay in the herd because they’ve earned it. That’s the foundation of real profit—the kind you can measure in calves on the ground and cows that stay in production year after year.
Mainstream selection has prioritized all the wrong things. The industry got lost in traits that don't translate to pasture performance. But we follow a different compass—guided by men like Jan Bonsma and Johann Zietsman, and refined by the cattlemen we work with around the world. These are producers who expect cattle to perform under pressure, in low-input environments, without excuses.
Bos Sires genetics aren’t about maximizing inputs—they’re about maximizing return. These cattle finish on grass. They thrive where others falter. They stay in condition when the feed truck doesn’t come. That’s not by accident—it’s by selection. They leave a lighter footprint because they’re built to work with the land, not fight against it. Cattle that convert grass, calve unassisted, and stay in the herd longer reduce the need for grain, synthetic inputs, and extra labor. That’s sustainability in action—not a slogan. And more than anything, these cattle are dependable. They do what they’re supposed to do, when they’re supposed to do it. You don’t need a spreadsheet to tell you that. You just need a pasture, a season, and a set of eyes.
We’re not just building cattle—we’re preserving a mindset. The kind of thinking that says fertility matters, longevity matters, and the cattle should fit the environment, not the other way around.
If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for—maybe you’ve just found it!
