By using all available technology and disciplined selection, CED has improved 64%, BW has reduced 62%, YW has increased 71% and $Beef has increased by 67% since our first fall sale in 2005. The current catalog is available at www.GardinerAngus.com as well as an Excel spreadsheet with current data.  This group of commercial heifers are due to calve in late Jan. and early Feb. The heifers will sell in groups of 10. The heifers have been genomic tested with GeneMax Focus and ultrasounded to determine the sex of the calf. Calf sex and GMX scores are listed in the catalog.
