EAGA PROGRAM

  • EAGA Bulls are developed on a high roughage ration designed for “Optimum” growth not “Maximum Gain” - - - There is a difference!
  • EAGA Bulls are developed in large dirt lots where they have plenty of room to exercise and condition.  For yearling bulls to breed as yearlings they must be conditioned much as an athlete would condition.
  • EAGA Bulls are weighed every 30 days to monitor gain, health and body condition.
  • EAGA Bulls are “Disposition” scored 5 times during development.  The average disposition score is published in the sale catalog.  Disposition may be the single most important “Convenience” trait in beef cattle.
  • EAGA Bulls stay in large contemporary groups adding credibility to the data.
  • All EAGA bulls are ultrasounded for carcass traits with adjusted measurements printed in the sale catalog.
  • All EAGA bulls have been tested negative for PI-BVD BEFORE delivery to the development center.
  • All EAGA bulls were individually inspected by a veterinarian on delivery.
  •  One-half of all EAGA bulls are sired by major AI sires.  Included are many groups of AI Sired ½ brothers.
  • All EAGA bulls must pass a Breeding Soundness Exam including a minimum scrotal measurement to qualify for an EAGA sale.
  • All EAGA Bulls come from long established herds where strong cow families have been identified and developed, cow families that add strength to the total genetic package on an “EAGA Bull”.
  • EAGA Bull sired feeder calves quality for EAGA Influence feeder calf sales held each December at Dunlap Livestock Auction.
  • EAGA Bull sired bred heifers and heifers bred to EAGA Bulls qualify for EAGA Influence Bred Heifer sales held in late October or early November at the Dunlap Livestock Auction.
  • EAGA Breeders each have an average of 20 years experience breeding and sell Angus seedstock.
  • EAGA Breeders combine a broad range of experiences in producing, testing and meeting the needs of beef cattle producer clients.
  • EAGA Breeders have participated in numerous central tests including Midland, ICA, Tri-County and Iowa Angus Association to name a few.
  •  EAGA Members are progressive Angus Breeders working together to breed, produce, develop, market, deliver and service superior cutting-edge seedstock genetics that meet and exceed their customer’s expectations.
     
    In 2004 we had the top selling bull at the EAGA sale, He was a Limited Design son selling to David Loutenzenhiser of Blockton, Iowa.  That bull's first calf crop of 27 head are all in the Tri County Steer Futurity test at Oakland, Iowa.  These calves have a 107 average daily gain ratio, and a 102.3 weight per day of age ratio at the interim wt. taken at the half way point of the test.  That bulls maternal brother sells in this year's sale, and is 312 EAGA tag, or the 6012 home tag.  This is what top genetics can do, they pay for themselves in a very short time over average qualtiy bulls.
