WHY WE
TEST WITH i50K
FROM ZOETIS
Powered by i50K™ from Zoetis, our cattle sell with
genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences
(GE-EPDs).
With GE-EPDs, we’re confident that customers like
you can minimize risk in their investment — and
enhance the productivity of your cattle.
The benefits of buying i50K-tested bulls and heifers
goes beyond added accuracy for the complete
range of traits for more productive daughters and
progeny. You’ll know early on what that animal is
likely to transmit to its offspring and potential for
performance in the feedlot and on the rail. You can
also match the i50K tested sires you buy from us to
match calves and replacement heifers — through
GeneMax® Advantage™ and GeneMax® Focus™—
to make better breeding and management
decisions down the road.
Knowing an animal’s potential. Continuous
progress of your herd. That’s why we test with
i50K.
