Ideal Beef Genetics:  The Power Of Genomics In The Cow Herd  

The Science of Selection


With GEPDs from the Ideal Beef Evaluation, selecting replacement females becomes a science, not an art. Using 15 different traits, and custom indexes that combine and simplify them, phenotype and pedigree are no longer the only tools at your disposal to guide the future of your herd.


Prove Your Pedigree


Genotyping your herd with IBG allows parentage verification so you know where your herd comes from. All Herd and AI sires available from Jorgensen Land and Cattle are genotyped and available for sire match, and all of your genotyped females will match with their progeny.


The Power of Genomic Analytics

Visualize Your Results


Enrolling your cattle in the IBG service gives you access to AgBoost, a revolutionary technology that turns confusing genomic results into easy to understand visualizations. This allows you to cut through the clutter and focus on your herd's future.


Matings Made Easy


Females enrolled in IBG are eligible for breeding suggestions powered by industry leading analytics. You pick your desired breeding outcomes, and your females will be analyzed next to Jorgensen Land and Cattles 5000+ Herd and AI sire battery, ensuring the bulls you turn out are the best for your herd's future.
