Dear Cattlemen and Cattlewomen ,
Welcome you to our 53rd Annual Angus Bull Production Sale. In 1972, Martin Jorgensen, Jr. and his brother Don brought commercial cattlemen the first set of Angus bulls with the Ideal prefix. Those men were the second generation on the land here in Ideal, and today, the 5th generation is now helping bring the best Angus genetics to you. Much has changed in the world since 1972, and the Jorgensen family has always strived to embrace innovative technologies and be on the leading edge of seedstock production. From the fight for open AI, through the beginning of Martin and Greg hand feeding bulls to evaluate feed efficiency and to the development of the Ideal Beef Evaluation, performance testing and stringent selection criteria have continued to drive our cow herd forward. One of the things that has continued to remain the same is that breeding programs are still built on the back of strong cow herds, and cow herds are improved by continuously selecting for traits that are economically important to commercial cattlemen, over multiple generations. The MotherLode™ has become a major cornerstone of the Jorgensen breeding program. We use sires that are proven to sire great daughters, and we use them on our cow herd through both AI and our Embryo Transfer program with the goal of continuing to further enhance the predictability and production of our cow herd which helps us create bulls that are prepotent and able to sire uniform calf crops for you.
We are excited for you to visit the ranch and evaluate our sire groups from the Rito, Emulation, Emulous, Eldorado, Traveler, and Wye sire lines. Many of the most recognized names in this program are represented, along with some rising stars who are beginning to make their marks. The bulls in this offering have been developed with longevity in mind; we use a high roughage ration that allows the bulls to develop with structural and reproductive soundness for years of productive life. We would like to thank our customers, family and friends for their continued support and belief in our breeding program. Jorgensen Land & Cattle could not have become what it is today without the support and loyalty of the cattlemen and cattlewomen that we serve. We are forever grateful for your previous and ongoing support. The 53rd Annual Production Bull Sale will be held at the Lazy J Grand Lodge, 6 miles from ranch headquarters, on April 21st, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. Bulls will be available for viewing at ranch headquarters, and lunch will begin serving at 11:00 a.m. at the Lodge. If you would like to preview cattle prior to sale day, give us a call (800-548-2855) at the office and we would love to show you around and give you time to evaluate the cattle on your own. The Video catalog will be available on DVAuction https://www.dvauction.com/ events/232235-jorgensen-land-2025-jorgensen-top-cut-4-21-25 . We look forward to seeing you and shaking your hand in Ideal on Monday April 21, 2025. Thank you, The Jorgensen Family

One of the things that has been and remains a constant about the Jorgensen family is striving for a better way of doing things, especially related to analyzing cattle. IDEAL BEEF EVALUATION (or IBE ) is a proprietary genetic evaluation that includes our Jorgensen Land & Cattle registered Angus herd and cattle from all of our Jorgensen cooperator herds. The IBE is a cooperative effort of Jorgensen land & Cattle and the Zoetis Genetics team. It combines the vast phenotypic data set (performance, calving, ultrasound, and reproductive) of Jorgensen Land & Cattle, with the genetics team of Zoetis — along with their gold standard HD50K genomic test. Today, the IBE incorporates over 100,000 genomically tested animals and decades of Jorgensen phenotypic data and we are extremely excited and confident about the in the power of the genetic predictions of the deriving from the IBE.

About this above image: Prior to Ultrasound, the K-40 counter was adapted for Beef Cattle evaluation purposes. It measured Potassium-40, a naturally occurring radioactive isotope of potassium, to estimate lean body mass of live cattle. Oklahoma State conducted a research project in 1969 to evaluate the measures versus chemical analysis of one-half of the carcass of 40 bulls. The research validated the method and Martin Jorgensen adopted the technology to evaluate carcass merit of bulls in the early 1970s!

Everything starts with the cow herd. Good cow herds are the foundations of profitable cow-calf operations. The Motherlode project focuses on making more great Angus cows, making them more consistently, and creating bulls that consistently sire herds of really good performance cows. Our methods involve choosing cows that have great cows stacked throughout their pedigrees, and especially cows that have a deep history maternal ancestors with great progeny records. We mate those cows to sires that are proven for producing fertile, productive daughters that are sound in terms of structure , udder quality, and who balance mothering ability with proper disposition at calving. Over the next few pages, please look at some examples of those cows – cows who have sons in this sale, daughters with sons in this sale, and sons that sired bulls for this sale. As you look at the maternal records behind these cows, be sure to observe the depth of these pedigrees. These cows are the product of seven to fifteen generations of Jorgensen breeding and selection, dating back to cows that were bred & born in the early 1960s. The bulls in this sale are bred to be predictable and backed by a Motherlode of generations of performance. Some of these bulls are the product of 15 or more generations of Jorgensen breeding, and they are bred to sire great calf crops and daughters that will help you maintain a great cow herd.
IDEAL 7209 OF 1168 MARJORIE
Ideal 7209 is a tremendous cow; one of the best cows to ever walk the pastures of Jorgensen Land & Cattle, and that is saying a lot when you think of all of the great cows in the history of this program. She is a product of fourteen generations of Jorgensen breeding who earned Progeny ratios of 105 WW and 112 YW. She and each of her twelve maternal ancestors, back to her 10th Great Granddam who was born in 1965, have earned Progeny YW ratios of 102 or higher—that represents a 60 year history of consistent superiority. In addition to these laurels, her pedigree is stacked with other great maternal ancestors; she traces to four times to the Feed Efficiency matriarch—Ideal 4465; nine times to the tremendous EE 4286 cow who was the mother to Ideal 4465 and to the ABS herd sire, Ideal 1418; one time to Ideal 3407, the dam of “Rito 7075” and also the paternal granddam of SAV Resource & SAV Renown; the productive Ideal 9743 donor cow; and to SAV Blackcap May 4136. In our 2023 Top Cut Bull Sale, her Top-10 selling sons averaged selling for more than $25,000 each. Today four of her sons are Herd Sires in our herd including: Ideal Accolade 2558, Ideal 3011 Rito Revolver, Ideal 2272 Emulous, and Ideal 2916 Skymere. We have retained 16 daughters in our herd, including two Motherlode donor cows. ◊ Sons in this sale include Lot 1G and Lot 30, both by “Band 174.” ◊ Four daughters have a total of six sons in this sale: Lots 96, 98, 111, 120, 124, and 170.

IDEAL 3407 OF 1418 076
Backed by seven generations of Jorgensen performance breeding, Ideal 3407 was the result of a mating between the ABS sire, Ideal 1418, and the great Ideal 076 cow that served as a donor for Jorgensen herd and then the Wehrmann herd. Ideal 3407 was a powerful cow, tremendous depth of rib, a long hip, excellent udder structure, and and she balanced a Progeny 98 BW ratio with 108 WW and 109 YW ratios. Her 33 daughters in AHIR earned a combined WW ratio of 101. Her most famous and influential mating was to RR Rito 707. That mating produced Rito Idealist who sold 48% for $40,000 in 1998 to N Bar Ranch and Wehrmann Angus and a full brother, Rito 707 of Ideal 3407 7075. Unfortunately, an untimely injury cut short Idealist’s reproductive career. “Rito 7075” was used at Sinclair Cattle Company, and heavily used at Jorgensen Land & Cattle and Schaff Angus Valley. In the SAV herd, he sired the top WW, YW, and ribeye sire group of the 2010 SAV Sale. Across the Angus breed, he is known for being the sire of SAV 707 Rito 9969, SAV Resource 14441, SAV Renown 3439, SAV Registry 2831. At SAV, he sired sons who totaled over $1.2 million. In the 2025 Top Cut Bull Sale, you will find her influence in bulls by SAV Renown 3439 (her grandson), SAV Resource 1441 (her grandson), Ideal All Pro (a great grandson of SAV Resource 1441), SAV Quarterback 7933 (a grandson of Resource), Ideal 4134 (a grandson of Rito 7075), Ideal 1925 Emulous (a maternal grandson of Resource), Rito 0040 Magnum (double-bred to Rito 7075 equaling 37.5% related), and SAV Ancestry 6090 (a maternal grandson of Rito 7075).

Backed by seven generations of Jorgensen performance breeding, this daughter of the Pathfinder sire, DHD Traveler 6807, and the EE 4286 cow became known as the Angus breed’s feed- efficiency matriarch. On the way to earning that title, she produced two consecutive sons that won the Jorgensen feed conversion contest. Ideal 7451, an ABS Global Pathfinder Sire, recorded a feed-efficiency ratio of 128 in 1998. In 1999, Ideal 8296 won the same contest with a 115 feed-efficiency ratio on his way to becoming a Jorgensen herd sire. Ideal 4465 earned combined Progeny ratios of 113 WW, 115 YW, and her 78 daughters in AHIR had a combined 103 WW ratio. In her lifetime, Ideal 4465 recorded more than $2.5 million in progeny sales, and placed eight sons with major A.I. companies.

IDEAL 3020 OF SE 6X7 LADY
Ideal 3020 has had a tremendous influence on our herd!!! It didn’t take us long to realize that she was a special cow. She worked her heart out with her first calf, Ideal Encore; together, they earned him a 205d Adj WW of 813 lbs. (123 ratio) , and he just kept getting better after that. Ideal 3020 is a direct granddaughter of the famous Ideal 4465 cow, but Ideal 4465 is also the great granddam of her sire, meaning that Ideal 4465 represents 31.25% of Ideal 3020’s genetics.

Data has a story to tell. Now it has a voice.
We incorporate AgBoost visualizations into each lot because, a picture can be quicker to interpret than a spreadsheet of numbers. Using GEPDs and percentile rankings from the Ideal Beef Evaluation (IBE), the AgBoost score displays each lot’s individual trait ranking for all the traits we currently measure in the IBE: BW: Birth Weight GEPD
SC: Scrotal Circumference GEPD MK: Milk GEPD FERT: Cow Fertility GEPD IMF: Intramuscular Fat GEPD REA: Ribeye Area GEPD RIB: Rib Fat GEPD TEND: Tenderness MVP
WW: Weaning Weight GEPD YW: Yearling Weight GEPD ADG: Average Daily Gain GEPD DMI: Dry Matter Intake FCR: Feed Conversion Rate GEPD DOC: Docility GEPD
HOW TO INTERPRET THE AGBOOST VISUALIZATION
TRAIT WIDTH (BLACK LINE): The width of each trait on the chart is an indicator of that trait’s heritability. The wider the portion, the more heritable a trait is. Traits are ordered in clockwise formation from most to least heritable. TRAIT HEIGHT (BLUE LINE): The higher a trait reaches from the
center, the better that traits score is. Close to the center is closer to 0, close to the outside edge is close to 10. All traits are on a 0-10 scale, 10 being the best. The large score in the center of the chart is the average of all ten trait scores on the AgBoost visualization. Learn more about AgBoost at www.ag-boost.com

Today, nearly 40 years after his birth, his progeny still hold impressive weaning and yearling weight ratios of 102 and 103, respectively. The Eldorado line developed a well-earned reputation for growth and maternal traits. Today, Ideal Encore has rightfully inherited the role of patriarch of the Eldorado Sire Line through his combination of dominant performance, fluidity of movement, length of body, great disposition, progeny performance ratios (97 BW, 101 WW, 103 YW, 105 IMF), and his ability to sire great daughters (103 daughters earned a combined 102 Weaning ratio).

Traveler Sire Line: QAS Traveler 23-4 is the best-known son of Band 234 of Ideal 3163 (“Band 105”). A 2017 Angus Foundation-funded research project revealed that “Traveler” was the most influential sire in the Angus breed, as measured by either Marginal or Co-ancestry Contribution. His genetics make up about 10% of Angus animals born today. (Band 105 accounts for 6.3% by Coancestry Contribution.) QAS Traveler 23-4 was the first direct son of Band 105 to have a major impact on the Angus breed, and his daughters in AHIR (almost 9,000) post a combined 101 WW ratio. QAS Traveler 23-4 produced numerous sons who have had a tremendous positive influence on the Jorgensen herd and the entire Angus breed. Genetic Contributions: Calving Ease, Marbling, Functional Females.

Emulation Sire Line: The Emulation sire line owes its origin to Murray Corbin (OK), famous for the development of the Emulous cattle. Murray formed the line by mating a linebred Emulous cow to F C R Elation Lad 652 and producing Emulation 31 (Emulous - Elation). Emulation 31 earned the highest Weaning Weight and highest Yearling Weight of his calf crop, and went on to become famous for his daughters. Unfortunately, Emulation 31 and many of his sons, daughters, and granddaughters became famous for bad dispositions. Bad dispositioned cows and bulls are just something that we no longer need to tolerate. Jorgensen Land & Cattle evaluated and very selectively hand-picked some Emulation-line sires who retain the best traits of the Emulation line and still exhibit the disposition, fertility, and mothering ability that we want in our cattle. We will continue to incorporate the best attributes of the Emulation line while selecting for the excellent disposition for which our cattle are known. Genetic Contributions: Fertility, Maternal Ability, Longevity, Excellent Udder Structure, Soundness, Carcass Quality

Selection within this environment resulted in improved gain-ability and carcass merit. In addition, the Emulous cattle were also very sound cattle who were noted for fertility and longevity. Genetic Contributions: Fertility, Longevity, Sound Feet & Legs, Gainability, and Carcass Merit.

Rito Sire Line: Martin Jorgensen bought an interest in Rito N Bar and Rito N Bar brought Jorgensen genetics into national prominence. RR Rito 707 took performance to an even higher level. He was the top-gaining bull at the 1968 PIC Bull Test (ratio 129), and his first progeny group of 27 steers recorded an average gain ratio of 111 while grading Choice (CAB grade, today). Fifty years of sons and daughters have compiled weaning weight & yearling weight ratios of 105, and his 453 daughters earned a combined 102 WW ratio. Today, Rito 0040 Magnum of Ideal is rightful head of the Rito Sire Line. He traces 350 times to Rito 707, yet has an Inbreeding Coefficient of only 13.43% per AHIR. He is impressing people with his masculine presence and his early calf crops have people excited about him. Genetic Contributions: Muscle, Rapid Growth, Fertility, Carcass Merit, Appetite, and Efficiency.

Just last year, Band 174 sired the heaviest Adj. WW sire group of bull calves! He also sired the second heaviest ADJ. YW sire group!
BAND 174 Advancing the Bandolier Legacy Establishing the Eldorado Sire Line
“Band 174” (Band 116 of Ideal 2118 7174 ), born in 1977, built an outstanding performance record with his progeny demonstrating superior growth and excellent growth on forage. He impressed through the growth of his calves and through his phenotype. The late Dr. Bob Long, highly respected Animal Science researcher & professor, and expert on cattle growth and muscle development, once said that “… (Band 174) is the most phenotypically impressive bull that I have ever seen.” His sire, “Band 116”, was out of a Rito 72 daughter with small teats & a well-attached udder and who earned Progeny ratios of 106 WW & 106 YW. The dam of Band 174 was an excellent Rito 149 daughter with Progeny ratios of 111 WW & 110 YW. So, it should be no surprise that Band 174’s individual performance caught the attention of the Angus breed. His 661 lb. Adj. Weaning Weight earned a 122 ratio in the Jorgensen herd and was 161 lbs. heavier than the average for calves born in the Angus breed in 1977. His 1,154 lb. Adj. Yearling Weight earned a 121 ratio in the Jorgensen herd and was 273 lb. heavier than the average for the Angus breed that same year. Band 174 calves earned a 103 WW ratio and a 104 YW ratio, and his daughters earned a combined 101 WW ratio. Band 174’s next accomplishment was through a flush to an excellent “Rito 206” daughter who had earned Progeny ratios of 108 WW & 105 YW. From this flush came a son, Eldorado 156, and a sister, Rito 154 of Ideal 6173-174. Eldorado 156 continued his sire’s legacy of length, growth, and great daughters. The full sister of Eldorado 156 went on to be a very productive cow (Progeny ratios 116 WW & 116 YW) and the dam of Rito 549 (sire at Fink Angus), Ideal7318 (herd sire at Jorgensen & Mosier Angus), and to serve as a donor for Beartooth Ranch, M Diamond Ranch, and for the Mary Ann Booth herd. EVEN TODAY, HIS GENETICS WORK: Forty-seven years after his birth, his performance was demonstrated in our 2024 bull calf crop. BAND 174 SIRED THE HEAVIEST ADJ. WW SIRE GROUP OF BULL CALVES — beating out bull calves sired by Resource, Renown, Encore, All Pro, Quarterback, Rainfall, and other sires. In addition, these same sons earned the 2nd heaviest Adj. YW sire group, coming in at only 4.9 pounds less than the sons of Resource. In addition, we are excited to watch see the impact of the Band 174 sons on our herd and the herds of our customers, and we’re eager to see calves from his daughters in our herd, for years to come. The legacy lives on!
Black Bardolier (AAA 480833) was the 11th Great Grandsire of Band 174 and would be the name sake of Lot 1G in the 2025 Top Cut Bull Sale. Black Bandolier of Page (AAA 414212) was the 13th Great Grandsire of Band 174 and is regarded as the father of the Bandolier and Bardolier Sire Lines across the Angus breed, and the namesake for Lot 1H in this sale.
