I-80 Angus Program

• I-80 Angus Bulls are born on three different farms but all three farms wean the same time and all are vet examined alike. Nothing makes the sale that does not pass our vet’s test or ours.  
• All I-80 Angus Bulls have been tested negative for PI-BVD.
• I-80 Angus Bulls are developed to gain 3 pounds a day. It is by design to grow bulls not fatten them. It keeps the bulls lean and hard and will expose the genetic potential not hide it.
• To keep the costs down, the I-80 Angus Producers decided to develop the bulls and heifers at their own places instead of paying someone else to develop them. This way we get to walk through them and check them daily ourselves.
• All I-80 Angus Bulls will have their BW, WW, YW, performance data, epd's, and ultra sounds made available.
• Many I-80 Angus Bulls are sired by major AI sires along with the I-80 Angus Producers top herd sires that include: flush, 3/4 and 1/2 brothers offered to allow an even more uniform calf crop for our customers. 
• All I-80 Angus Bulls must pass a Breeding Soundness Exam given by our area veterinary that also includes a minimum scrotal measurement to qualify for our sale.
• The I-80 Angus Producers have put their focus on their cow herds. They know good bulls come from good cows. No one in the I-80 group believes in single trait selection be it birth weight only, milk only, performance only, or carcass only.  We strive for balance traits where the offspring show their potential in developing muscle, depth and length of body, easy fleshing, and performance. These herds have been developed for 20 years or more where high producing cow families have been identified. We know you still sell cattle by the pound. Muscle weighs more than fat. 
• We are proud to be involved with our local market agents who for years have supported us and our local farmers, communities, churches, schools, businesses, and area cattle and youth groups. This kind of honesty and integrity go hand in hand with what the I-80 Angus Producers are about. They are the Schaben's of Dunlap Livestock Auction, 
• I-80 Angus Producers are a no nonsense group and we have been called the group that are back to the basics. We are offering real beef bulls for the real world cattle producers.
