Three steps to a more profitable herd
Evaluate
The Ideal Beef Evaluation, powered by Zoetis, delivers Genomic Enhanced Estimated Breeding Differences (GEPDs) for 15 traits to identify your best replacement females.
Visualize
With industry-leading herd management, data analytics, and genetic visualizations, AgBoost makes genetic decision-making simple and herd management easy.
Propagate
As the nation's largest seedstock producer, we offer an unmatched selection of AI and herd sires, ensuring the bulls you use meet the needs of your herd.
Precision Beef Selection
The Science of Selection
With GEPDs from the Ideal Beef Evaluation, selecting replacement females becomes a science, not an art. Using 15 traits — and custom indexes that combine and simplify them — phenotype and pedigree are no longer the only tools to guide your herd's future.
Prove Your Pedigree
Genotyping your herd with IBG allows parentage verification, so you know where your herd comes from. Every herd and AI sire we offer is genotyped and available for sire match, and your genotyped females will match with their progeny.
Genetics proven in the pasture, not just on paper
Every recommendation we make is backed by decades of real-world performance from the largest seedstock herd in the nation.
Turn Data Into Decisions

What IBG producers are saying
“IBG showed us that 30% of our cows were carrying 70% of the genetic value in the herd. We wouldn't have known that without the Ideal Beef Evaluation. We culled smarter than we ever had.”
G. Halverson
Commercial cow-calf, South Dakota
“The AgBoost mating tool is the part most people overlook. It doesn't just tell you which females are the best — it tells you which Jorgensen bull makes each female better. That's the real value.”
P. Olsen
Seedstock producer, Nebraska
“We enrolled 180 cows in our first year. By year three, our average weaning weights were up 40 lbs and our replacement heifers were the most uniform they'd ever been. IBG paid for itself many times over.”
T. Farnsworth
Commercial rancher, Wyoming
