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,

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 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!
