Purebred Angus

Registered Angus & Charolais Seedstock

"A reputation built upon the cow herd"

The cow herd is the strength of this program. The product of six to eight generations of objective performance and a "cowman’s eye," the females have made the Fink Angus name. Their matrons are real beef cows with that "mother cow" look . . . Practical, functional, productive and structurally well balanced with the inherent and proven ability to breed, milk and produce pounds of beef.

Breeding Program

  • Total AI since 1977—HIGH ACCURACY SIRES
  • NO seedstock supplier in the U.S. uses more proven genetics in both Angus and Charolais with the degree of accuracies than F.B.G. utilizes.
  • Why? F.B.G. doesn’t want any surprises or EPDs, fertility or convenience traits for you or us!
  • Generally over 1,200 embryos are implanted every year—one of the largest embryo programs in the U.S.
  • EPD usage is an important tool, and has been for F.B.G. since their inception. We believe that breeding cattle is full of genetic antagonisms—stretching biological types too far in any one direction will cost in other areas.
  • F1 Angus-Charolais bulls since 1996
  • Purebred Charolais bulls since 1999
  • Fall calving providing bulls 15 months old for fall programs and 20-22 months old for spring programs.
