MORE POUNDS. LESS FEED. BETTER COWS.
76 Years Home of Feed Efficiency
Angus genetics built to make commercial cattlemen more profitable.
FEED EFFICIENCY
Feed is too Expensive to Guess
Two bulls can look good standing in the pen.
That doesn't mean they'll cost the same to put pounds on their calves. That's why we individually test our bulls for feed efficiency and publish the numbers.
~4.9:1
Average feed conversion reported for tested Byergo sale bulls in 2026.
~6.5:1
Industry benchmark used in Byergo's 2026 testing.
Lower is better
Less feed required to produce a pound of gain.
What We Select For
FEED EFFICIENCY
Individual testing tells us what it actually takes to put on a pound.
REAL-WORLD GROWTH
Pounds still pay. We want cattle that perform without unnecessary input.
MATERNAL POWER
Genetics capable of building productive, efficient females that stay in the herd.
FERTILITY
A bull that doesn't breed cows isn't worth much, regardless of his EPD sheet.
FEET & SOUNDNESS
Hard feet, correct structure and athletic movement matter.
CARCASS MERIT
Efficiency shouldn't come at the expense of the end product.
76 YEARS • ONE COW FAMILY
ONE FOUNDATION COW. GENERATIONS OF PROOF.
In 1950, Forrest Byergo purchased Elia of South Oaks and her two daughters, establishing the foundation of the Byergo herd.
Today, more than 85% of the Byergo herd traces back to that original cow.
That's more than history. It's generations of selecting cattle that earned their place.
The Elia family has become known for maternal ability, longevity, sound feet, good udders, disposition, fertility, performance and efficiency.

POWER MATERNAL
DON'T JUST KEEP HEIFERS. BUILD A COWHERD.
A replacement female isn't valuable because she looks good as a yearling.
Her value is what she does over the next decade.
Our Power Maternal approach considers more than the EPD sheet, including longevity, fertility, feet, docility, milk, weaning performance, body condition and percentage of body weight weaned.
