Create a Vision for your Cow Herd

AT VISION ANGUS OUR COW HERD IS BRED FOR BALANCE & PREDICTABILITY. WHY? IT'S ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT TO US & OUR CUSTOMERS!

Raise Quality Cattle – You can count on Vision Angus to be your seedstock supplier of choice with a ‘Quality’ cow herd based on balanced-trait selection.

Growthy, thick ended, fancy calves still command top dollar at the sale barn and on video.  Your reputation is as important as how the calves look.  Capture the premium available from having the right reputation, quality and information.  Don’t just have “Commodity Cattle”.  At Vision Angus, we know those calves need to have that eye appeal, growth and thickness.  We offer bulls that will provide these phenotypic traits and help you “get noticed”.  We also know that maternal traits and cow longevity have the largest impact on your profitability.  EPD’s cannot measure every trait.

Develop A Herd Health Plan – You can count on Vision Angus to help you develop a plan with our access to experts and knowledge of the products.

Use your veterinarian but just don’t go to the clinic the day before you work calves and get the vaccine they tell you to get.  There are new vaccines available and there are systems to create immunization compliments.  Review the vaccine protocols of the video and sale barn programs available to you as sellers.  The most important thing is to develop a plan and take advantage of the value in your feeder calves by having them properly vaccinated.  The data derived from over 25 million head of cattle sold on Superior Livestock is astounding.  Calves weaned and on a vaccination program are commanding higher prices

Provide The Right Nutrition – You can count on Vision Angus to check and balance your rations with over 30 years of ruminant nutrition training and experience.

Experience the Value.

Personal Commitment

OUR PERSONAL COMMITMENT is to deliver quality genetics at the best value to our primary customers – the commercial cattlemen.

Our Genetics

VISION ANGUS GENETICS ARE DESIGNED to add more pounds, maternal strength, carcass quality and efficiency to our customers’ cattle. To ensure that they do so, our genetics are the result of matings that are planned, predictable, functional and reliable! At Vision Angus we develop genetic packages with a purpose in mind.

• Our calving-ease bulls are the result of mating proven low birth sires to cows that have shorter gestation intervals in order to increase the predictability and reliability of lighter birth weights.
• Our growth and performance bulls are bred for power to deliver more pounds – but also to keep carcass traits, mature cow size, milk and fertility in balance.
• Our moderate-framed, maternally oriented bulls are designed to be just what they are.

Our Cattle

OUR CATTLE ARE NUTRITIONALLY DEVELOPED TO BENEFIT OUR CUSTOMERS! At Vision Angus, our bulls and heifers are developed to fulfill their genetic potential, but more importantly their nutritional development is designed to ensure their longevity! Minerals and vitamins are fed at levels to ensure soundness, fertility, proper growth and development. Before and after our Annual Bull Sale, we begin conditioning the bulls to ensure that they are fit for pasture service. In the fall after their first breeding season, we are ready to assist you with nutrition and management of your yearling bulls!
