Welcome to the Dutch Creek Angus Forage Genetics website. We created our herd and this website for those looking for practical cattle which can be profitable in an all-forage environment with  a focus on the maternal end of the business.   For 37 years the Dutch Creek breeding program has been focused on creating a more productive and efficient cowherd through the linebreeding of fertile, long-lived cows, some of which have weaned 4 to 5 tons of calves in their lifetimes. Therefore, it is not surprising that genomic testing of the Dutch Creek cowherd reveals reproductive (fertility) scores and dry matter intake efficiency scores at the extreme top end of the Angus breed. According to Dr. Cliff Lamb of Texas A&M University, pregnancy rate has a 4 times greater economic impact than any other trait. Our genomic test results confirm that by incorporating Dutch Creek genetics into your cowherd you will maximize maternal output through more efficient utilization of your forage resources while minimizing the costs associated with replacing and/or maintaining open cows. As the late Dr. Bob Taylor of Colorado State University once said, "profitable cattle are usually productive, but productive cattle are not always profitable". ​ We hope you enjoy your visit to our website and encourage you to contact us with your questions. And remember, genomic testing takes the guesswork out of seedstock selection. Thanks for visiting!
