Tallgrass Beef Company Grass Based Genetics are the result of many years spent searching for beef cattle genetics that are optimal for grass based beef production. A significant amount of time was invested into discovering the pockets of solid genetics that still existed within the US cattle population. Tallgrass personnel traveled tens of thousands of miles, ultrasounding and measuring seedstock cattle, collecting actual performance data, and determining adaptability, longevity, and fertility in the lineage of each bloodline examined. Many thousands of cattle were sorted through along the way.
This quest led us to select populations of old line genetics produced by breeders who refused to follow the trends and fads of each decade, but instead stuck faithfully to the foundation of beef cattle breeding. These breeders knew that cattle selected for adaptability, longevity, and fertility would work in any situation and in any decade. They utilized the science and art of linebreeding to concentrate the inheritance of superior common ancestors in their seedstock. A carefully crafted and executed linebreeding program is the bedrock for producing bloodlines that exhibit rock solid consistency and uniformity within their progeny.
Tallgrass Beef Company has continued this tradition by producing seedstock cattle that meet or exceed stringent standards for performance in multiple trait categories, exceptional maternal ability and fertility, longevity, and are highly adaptable to many regions of the country. These seedstock cattle were produced through carefully selected matings combining the best dam and sire genetics that exist. Each individual is backed by generations of stringent linebreeding, selection, and proven performance in the traits that count.
