Ultrasound Scanning for
Better Genetics & Beef Quality
This is the heart of what we do. Using portable, professional-grade ultrasound equipment, we scan each animal chute-side to evaluate key traits like:
Ribeye area
Back fat thickness
Marbling (intramuscular fat)
These measurements help producers make smarter breeding and selection decisions — and for registered breeders, this data supports accurate EPD (Expected Progeny Difference) updates with breed associations.
EPD Guidance & Genetic Support
Collecting data is one thing. Knowing what to do with it? That’s where we come in.
We work directly with producers to make sense of ultrasound results and Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs), helping you turn numbers into action.
