- Soundness and structural integrity
- Heifer fertility
The Wild Type Ranch Herd Health Program provides you with healthy,
reliable, productive cattle:
- All reproductive-age cattle tested for Johne's, Brucellosis, Neospora,
BVD and Leukosis - Calf vaccinations at 3 months and weaning with modified live virus for
respiratory and reproductive diseases - All bulls fertility tested prior to sale
- Individual health records provided on each animal purchased
- Bulls and females developed on pasture, not feedlots.
Our Culling Philosophy ensures only top-quality broodstock get to bear the
Wild Type Ranch brand:
- Over 75% of our calves are produced by Embryo Transfer or Artificial
insemination - Our Pastured Angus Beef program means all animals have a place
in our marketing. Only top-quality cattle get to enter our breeding herd. - Bulls are evaluated at 8-10 months on growth, muscling structural
soundness and disposition. Those that won't make outstanding
bulls enter the beef program - Heifers are culled at yearling on structural, growth, carcass
(ultrasound) and disposition. - Heifers are culled again at 16-17 months. Any open heifers at this
point enter the beef program. In this way, we are building
generations of heifer fertility into our genetic lines.
Our Red Angus breeding program is still in the herd-building stage, but we
have a limited number of breeding animals for sale.
