Koester Red Angus
Our vision for the future...
Rooted in heritage and stewardship while
envisioning tomorrow.
We look beyond the current season and market, seeking fresh genetics that will add value to our customers’ calves and cowherd for generations into the future. We know – and accept the responsibility – that our decisions today impact the livelihood of the cattlemen that trust our genetics. All of our registered Red Angus Cows and heifers calve in August and September on pasture, where we weigh and tag daily. We also udder and disposition score each dam as she calves. All of our cows are DNA tested and display genomically enhanced EPDs which predicts their potential to the highest level possible. In early November, we synchronize, AI and sort into breeding groups for a 45-day breeding season. Matings are done which enhance our customers’ profitability to the best of our ability. We wean calves in March and collect DNA samples for GGP testing. We also weigh and body condition score the cows as well as record her foot scores. The heifers are summered on pasture with only protein block supplements. We run the bulls on grass as well with just enough supplement to maintain their development and prepare them for yearling carcass and data collection. They are not put on a feed test. The Sale Bulls come into the lot in late August where we develop them as long yearlings for the sale in March, held in conjunction with Leland Red Angus at their ranch near Sidney, Montana. In addition to genomically enhanced EPDs on the Sale Bulls, we continually monitor performance, feet and disposition, culling accordingly until only the highest profitability bulls are maintained for sale. We welcome guests to visit our family operation during any season or phase of production.
