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.
