Flying H Genetics

Based in Arapahoe, Nebraska, Flying H Genetics is a largely diverse ranching and farm operation that has marketed superior seedstock for 60 years. The business is owned by Dick and Bonnie Helms and as well as their son Kyle and his family. Like most elite seedstock programs the focus at Flying H Genetics is on, of course, genetics. However if one could only use two phrases to describe the operation, “innovation” and “customer service” would certainly rise to the top. “We sell bulls, or superior genetics, but ultimately we are a customer service organization that exists to make our customers more profitable,” Kyle Helms adds. “We are a business that believes strongly in being on the cutting edge of genetic improvement and utilizing all tools available to us to breed more profitable cattle.” The Helms first incorporated Gelbvieh genetics into their evaluation program in 1982. Then in 1992, they once again, were on the cutting edge by producing GelPlus hybrid or composite bulls, which later became known to the industry as Balancers. Recently, they have aggressively began producing SimAngus bulls as well as purebred Gelbvieh and Angus cattle. Flying H Genetics has been at the forefront of the composite/hybrid seedstock revolution, and were even some of the first producers to incorporate ultrasound and DNA information as into their seedstock offering. Perhaps, the Helms family is most famous for their 17 Quality Standards. This firm set of stipulations is minimum standard for 17 different traits and serves as the basis for their selection and culling programs. Flying H has never been scared to do things a little differently- as represented by their forage based development programs. “Having bulls developed in the same environment and with the same feed resources that their offspring work, has been become critical for many of our customers,” explains Jared Wareham Flying H Genetics is committed to helping as many producers prosper as possible and with that in mind they work with 25 different cooperators to provide additional genetics and increased selection pressure. In addition to their cooperators they have a Missouri regional affiliate that holds two sales annually; one in the fall and one in the spring. Through these sales Flying H markets approximately 400 bulls per year. Additionally, they annually help market a large number of replacement and bred females for their customers.
