The Program
Doug Worthington, General Manager
Doug comes from a family background of raising purebred Angus cattle. Doug and owner, Jim Coleman, are responsible for the proven Vintage Angus genetics. Doug and Jim together make all the breeding decisions that control the future of Vintage Angus. Great care and study goes into the sire selection and matings of these valuable and unique genetics. Designing genetics that will add value to the herd and help move the breed forward is a job Doug takes seriously. Performance information, ultraasound data, EPDs, and the skeletal structure are all studied to make total performance matings that will prosper in the future. Doug is also responsible for selecting the genetics that will be offered in the different sales events at Vintage throughout the year as well as overseeing all the employees in their different areas. Doug is a past president of the Western State Angus Association board and is dedicated to the growth of the entire Angus world. If you see Doug at a sale event or show around the country, please say hello, as Doug is always ready to help you with his most important job - helping you utilize Vintage Angus genetics in your program.
Donor Herd
Brad Worthington, Operations Manager
Brad came to Vintage after 17 years experience in the Angus business including seven years as an Angus ranch manager. Brad is in charge of all Embryo Transfer (ET) work done at Vintage Angus. Since our genetics are always getting younger and new technology is always changing the idea of what perfection is in cattle genetics, the Vintage ET program will continue to increase in focus as the future shows us new ways to design the ultimate in Angus genetics. With Brad at the helm, our ET program has never worked better and with all the proven genetics to work with, we always have a supply of new frozen eggs for sale. If you have a question about a Vintage donor, feel free to contact Brad at anytime.
