ANGUS. BETTER THAN EVER.
Angus GS is more than a DNA test. It’s a new opportunity.
Put Angus GS to work with the advantages of whole herd genotyping. Powerfully affordable and easy to use, it’s the best DNA profiler for Angus seedstock production. Angus Genetics Inc. welcomes Allflex Tissue Sampling Units (TSU), a practical DNA collection system during routine cattle handing. Collect DNA in seconds. Fast. Clean. Easy.
Manage breeding and mating plans proactively. Knowing both sides of a mating, we can improve beneficial traits while breeding around less desirable qualities. Make faster progress, reducing generational interval using Angus GS. Profile males and females soon after they are born, saving years of risk and investment. With Angus GS, differentiate full-sibs early in life. And, when used with A.I. and E.T. tools, move your program even faster.
Make the best plan for your whole herd. Once upon a time, we only DNA-tested the top end of sale bulls. Today, Angus GS will help us select both males and females to produce future generations of superior sale bulls. Angus producers using Angus GS will lead the industry in breed improvement.
