ELLINGSON ANGUS REAL WORLD GENETICS SALE

This sale offers a large volume of bulls comprised of large sire groups of half and full brothers. More than half the offering is the direct result of their embryo transplant program. Through embryo transfer, they transplanted more than 600 embryos in 2023 in an ongoing commitment to produce large volumes of bulls out of the top 5 percent of our cowherd. By doing this, Ellingson Angus Real-World Genetics can offer elite, affordable genetics in volume for commercial cattle producers. Not only does this allow them to offer a very uniform set of bulls from the first to the last one in the ring, but, more importantly, it allows you to turn out multiple closely related bulls for a consistent and valuable calf crop.

Ellingson Angus lead off the sale offering with the first sons of Ellingson Prolific, the ranch’s high-selling bull from two years ago that sold to ST Genetics. Ellingson Prolific has become one of the most popular bulls in America. His anticipated breeding potency is being quantified by his first calf crop. Elingson Prolific sons are deep, powerful, and structurally right. His dam, EA Queen 8070, has been a favorite by those who’ve seen her. Ellingson Angus Real-World Genetics are excited for you to see his first sons. Their largest volume of sons in the offering is out of Ellingson Badlands 0285. His first sons who sold in 2023 launched him to become one of the heavier used bulls of the breed last spring. His ability to sire calving ease with phenotype and maternal stability may be unmatched. Ellingson Angus are excited to offer 68 direct sons in this sale. Our confidence in this sire is unwavering, as they will have 250 more of
his calves born here this year.

While performance and carcass genetics are extremely important, Ellingson Angus realizes the beef industry starts with a strong maternal factory at the ranch level. Having cows that wean a large calf every 365 days without a lot of extra care is of the utmost importance to ranchers’ profitability. That is why Ellingson Angus continues to collect every aspect of maternal data possible. They think fertility data, foot data, and culling data are critical measurements essential in identifying and producing the best maternal genetics. While Ellingson Angus Real-World Genetics strive to produce fat, beautiful, maternal matrons, they know she is only a maternal matron if she also is producing as one. As you review their offering, you will see we emphasize foot traits, heifer pregnancy, and $M – traits that make a profitable contribution to our customers.
