The goal of the Vista Red Angus program is balanced performance, with an emphasis on calving ease. “Trouble-free” best describes the Red Angus influenced female. She is an easy-fleshing, fertile, docile, low-maintenance, beef machine. When you also consider that Red Angus is the only breed currently making real progress in developing EPDs for reproduction, fertility, and longevity traits, it is no wonder Red Angus influenced females are gaining popularity.

We believe that beef heifers should be bred to calve, unassisted, as two-year-olds, breed back for a second calf in a limited breeding season, and raise a calf that fits today’s market. Red Angus has been a key ingredient for achieving these things in our commercial operations, and we believe there is no other breed that can contribute more in this situation. We have bred our commercial heifers to moderate birth weight EPD Red Angus bulls for the last several years with tremendous success, and our Missouri
commercial herd is almost exclusively made up of Red Angus-Sired females.

The Red Angus breed also excels in carcass quality, and the Vista Herd excels within the breed. The Vista herd average for marbling EPD is significantly higher than the breed average EPD.

We believe Red Angus genetics - 'sleep all night' calving ease, plus growth, plus cow herd efficiency, plus carcass quality - can have a positive effect on the bottom line of any breeding program.

Our business is helping you make your business the best it can be.
