We consistently raise top ranking bulls in economically important traits:

• Calving Ease Indicators
• Top Net Feed Efficiency (RFI) Bulls (lbs. dry matter basis)
• All bulls have individual animal Net Feed Efficiency and Straight Feed Conversion data.
• Top Straight Feed Conversion Bulls lbs. feed / lb. gain (dry matter basis)
• Top Average Daily Gain Bulls (lbs. per day)
• Ultrasound Carcass Rankings
• Nearly every bull has individual animal feed efficiency data on all progeny in its first 2 generations – either actual feed intake data and/or actual data.

• Igenity DNA Tenderness Score
• Carcass Ultrasound Scans
• Homozygous Polled Status

• Coat Color Status
• Accurate, complete performance data
• Superior Docility EPDs

• Complete EPDs with accuracies
• Semen tested – ready to work
• Actual gestation lengths

Virile bulls ready to cover lots of ground. They were “coasted” through their first winter, you can treat them rougher than spring yearling calves, and are slowly developed with lots of exercise plus they haven’t seen as much feed as full two-year-olds elsewhere. They aren’t picked over.

These bulls will handle more cows than hard fed yearlings. We evaluate our bulls more intensely than others for performance, feed efficiency, structure and docility in our goal of providing sound, user-friendly bulls.

They have been slowly developed to last for years, just like their heifer mates retained in our herd that can produce well into their teens.

All are homozygous polled. Homozygous polled cattle will genetically dehorn every calf, even from horned cows.

We’ve designed them and paid the tab to DNA test them so you’ll be guaranteed a uniform all-black calf crop from non-diluter red or black cows. DNA tests requested to confirm were done at Neogen (formerly Igenity). Our bulls are free of the spotting and diluter genes.

We’re proud of the many comments we receive about how calm our bulls are. We stack the pedigrees with only top docility EPD sires, and it works. Whether they are Limousin, Simmental, or Angus, superior docility EPD’s are essential – and believe us, it’s hard to find new sires that are good enough to continue our quest.

We report performance data on our entire calf crops to the breed associations in an attempt to enhance the accuracy of our EPDs and optimize the information you can use to help select your seedstock. We print all the EPDs and accuracies – none hidden.

To do the best job in designing beef cattle that increase profitability and sustainability, we use the facts.

As beef industry leaders in gathering useful data, we have spent a lot of time, effort, and dedication to first learn about new methods identifying the differences in cattle. We then spent considerable money over the past years in using the GrowSafe feed efficiency test system, DNA tests, Igenity DNA profiles etc., to compile this data and stack the pedigrees generation after generation with superior genetics and eliminate the ones that don’t work. Use our information to make more confident choices.

Our dedication to combine the best traits of the “right kind” of Limousin, Angus, and Simmental into our ‘’Beefmaker’’ Bulls and ‘’Milkmaid’’ Females while also eliminating the bad traits of these breeds has worked very well. But to maintain our leadership role in designing beef cattle genetics, we are also well into the plan to tackle the “hard to measure” traits. The future will reward cattlemen from “pasture to plate” for cattle that can supply necessary traits not only for cow-calf producer and cattle feeder, but also meet demands of the packer, retailer and probably most importantly, the consumer who expects a quality eating experience first time, every time, and all the time. We are one of the very few in the world that are tackling the genetics to supply superior feed efficiency, adequate marbling with tremendous percent lean meat yield, and genetically influenced superior meat tenderness.

We invite you to either start a positive experience using Tangle Ridge Ranch genetics, or if you have already used our bulls, to continue utilizing our research and data.

Join us in improving not only our own herds, but also the beef business as a whole in an attempt to keep consumers eating and enjoying more beef at a reasonable, profitable price.
