The Ideal Beef Evaluation Can Work for You

Making the smart genetic decision doesn’t have to be complicated.

In the past year, we have consulted with over 3,000 cattlemen on genetic decisions for their cow herd – decisions powered by the Ideal Beef Evaluation or IBE.

Jorgensen Land & Cattle is the leader in analyzing beef cattle performance data and incorporating it into genetics decisions to help build better cow herds and calf crops. We have been helping commercial cattlemen toward that end for over 60 years, and we enjoy celebrating their success.

Let’s put the power of the IBE to work for you.
