Breeding Program

Our primary goal at Vintage Angus is to produce cattle that will improve our customer's bottom line. That is not only our goal but our commitment to everyone that purchases genetics from Vintage Angus Ranch. Vintage genetics have been utilized across this nation with many herd sires in top A.I. studs. Vintage Angus is proud to have Angus breeders from across this nation and overseas using Vintage genetics in their breeding program.

Multi-Trait excellence is a term that you have herd often if you have followed Vintage Angus. Our belief that breeding cattle is not about a single EPD or Index, but the much more challenging task of excellence at all the important traits delivered in one package. In June 2020, the $Combined Index became part of the suit of indexes printed on every animals’ registration paper. This new index that is expressed in dollars, includes all traits that make up both $Maternal weaned calf value ($M) and beef value ($B). By combining maternal with terminal traits into a single multi-trait genetic selection tool, we believe the AAA has made it easier for Vintage Angus to show in real data what we have been working on “multi-trait” excellence. This work will ensure that you can keep replacement females and raise high quality feeder cattle with the same bull battery.

Vintage Angus has been hard at work utilizing our extensive embryo transplant program to ensure that both multi-trait excellence sires and dams are used in our genetics. Using only the best genetics means a better, more predictable product for you and our DNA results prove this to be true.

The basics of the cattle business-reproductive soundness, longevity, fleshing ability and structural soundness-are all major economic factors in a cow herd and at VAR they still take center stage. Our females must be sound before they are kept to see if they have superior carcass quality, superior efficiency, and superior performance.

At Vintage Angus we are committed to keeping our customers on the leading edge of genetic information and profitability. We know our job is "to increase the profit margin of our customers." At VAR we are dedicated to do everything possible to ensure that your purchase is a profitable one. If you have any questions about our program, please contact us and we will be happy to help in any way we can. We at Vintage Angus want to make you a satisfied VAR customer and are confident that our genetics will perform to your high standards.
