Our Mission
“To insure the success of our customers by developing predictable Angus genetics that excel in all the economically
important traits, including carcass quality and cutability, feedlot performance, roughage conversion, maternal traits,
fertility, disposition and soundness--thus allowing them to consistently and profitably produce a high percentage of
finished cattle that meet Certified Angus Beef® specifications.”
SydGen Herd Sires
The herd sires referenced on this and the next 10 pages are re-
sponsible for over 106,500 progeny in the AHIR database, of which
over 43,000 have ultrasound scans, along with over 4,200 progeny
on Australia’s Breed Plan. More than 36,000 daughters of these
sires have had calves reported on AHIR, and over 3,200 progeny
have been reported through carcass evaluation. We have 89 sires
owned or co-owned by us on the 2016 Sire Evaluation Report.
Most of these sires are available to you via artificial insemina-
tion, and semen can be ordered through our farm office, from ORI-
gen Cattle Services, Billings, MT, and from many local distributors,
including ABS representatives, on many sires. We have semen
prices printed at the end of each footnote on sires available directly
from us, and all AI certificates are priced at $40. If you would like
to pick up semen on sale day, please let us know in advance so we
can have ample supplies.
Some of these bulls will be on display sale day. Others are at
their respective co-owners’ farms, depending on ownership of
the possession interest. All of the SydGen AI sires do see natural
service duties; we think it’s important for proper development of
the bull.
