In 2006, we began an aggressive embryo transfer program, focusing on top cow families within our operation. These efforts were further intensified in 2009 and 2010 with the addition of more donor cows from Connealy Angus, Whitman, NE.

Early in 2010 we began using the DNA technology from Angus Genetics Inc.. All of the females currently being bred in our A.I. herd, as well as all donor cows owned by the McKellars, have been genomically profiled to assess their true genetic potential. We have found this tool to be invaluable in our selection process to produce higher quality, more predictable animals.

Our mission continues to be to use all the tools available to produce the highest quality bull for the commercial cow/calf operator, and the highest quality female for fellow registered Angus breeders. Our goal is for our cattle to cover all the bases of fertility, calving ease, growth, maternal ability and carcass traits, and to do so in a visually attractive, efficient package.

On March 29, 2012 we will host our 8th Annual Production Sale. This sale will feature 95 breeding age bulls, ready to go to work and 60 select bred heifers. The bulls are available for viewing anytime. The heifers have been developed on a high forage diet to properly develop to be real world mother cows. Most of the heifers will sell with ultrasound sexed pregnancies.

Thank you for your interest in our program. Feel free to e-mail, call, or write should you have any questions.
