Welcome and “Thank You” for your interest in the Authentic Beef Genetics program! Program being the important word here. First, We’d like to give you the founding of ABG. It all started in the spring and summer of 2024 after meeting Tan- non Dvorak (DVO Angus) and touring his herd. We were very impressed with the maternal qualities the cattle exhibited, the meat-bone ratios, and the tenderness factors they displayed. Tannon brought to the table a very keen eye as an elite cattle breeder. After buying some bulls from him in the spring, we also asked about purchasing some females from DVO. Tan- non told us he was thinking about having a herd dispersal. We considered it a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy females of the caliber that were on offer. Long story short, we ended up not only buying some of his best donor cows but also collab- orating with Tannon to build Authentic Beef Genetics. ABG is a collaboration between Tannon Dvorak, (DVO Angus Ranch), Jamie Hostetler and Sons (Hostetler Red Angus), and Sheldon Headings (Eckstein Cattle Company). David Stoltzfus (Horse- shoe Valley Farm) will also be contributing to the bulls being offered today. Tannon has agreed to take on the role of herd consultant; he makes the breeding decisions as well as culling and selection decisions. Our vision is to continue the legacy that the DVO program offered: maternal intelligence, newborn calf vigor, cow proactiveness, sexual correctness, skull shape, hormonal balance, authentic performance, tenderness, and major end game relevance resulting in handsfree cattle that make the lives of every commercial cattleman easier and more profitable. To further enhance it we are bringing some of the best red and black Angus cows to walk the planet into one pedigree, which we think can really move the needle of excel- lence forward in the beef industry. This year we have a limited number of bulls on the sale, but we are projecting to substan- tially increase that number in the next few years through an extensive ET program. Please contact us if you have any ques- tions about our program or if you would like to view the cattle. May God Bless you! Sheldon Headings, Tannon Dvorak & Jamie Hostetler
