Dad’s rule has always been to only include “proven” AI sires when we chart matings. This disciplined sire selection has been the “key” to our success.

.Dad’s rules have been great, but it has also caused us not to use some talented young sires. Especially some of our own.
Sire Selection
GARDINER ANGUS RANCH GARDINER ANGUS RANCH
The use of genomics enhances the accuracy associated with the EPDs of young sires.
Even though we still live by Dad’s rules, the use of genomics has allowed me to use some of our young sires earlier than we could have in the past without taking an undue risk.
