Upcoming Sale Dates 
Many Gardiner Angus Ranch customers share our common philosophy regarding beef production. Those customers are professional cow-calf producers allied with the GAR philosophy and committed to the discipline required to produce seedstock with added value throughout the food chain.

As the beef industry makes scientific progress through the development of molecular breeding values and marker assisted EPDs, Gardiner Angus Ranch and its Allied Producers will aggressively use the data to develop new and better programs, offer more services and continue producing superior Angus genetics.

The program was designed to add value to Gardiner-influenced commercial cattle and help GAR customers receive a potential premium for their investment in Gardiner genetics.

All cattle must complete the enrollment process and be tagged at the point of origin to be eligible.
