- ABS Pasture to PlateTM genetic evaluation system is designed to identify and deliver profit-oriented genetics that perform throughout the beef supply chain and provide added value for our commercial customers.
- These initial indexes focus on the terminal aspects of beef production specifically on the performance, quality and efficiency traits that drive end-product value.
- Pasture to PlateTM starts with the cow herd and ABS remains dedicated to also providing the best in current and progressive maternal solutions. Look for future maternal indexes and ask about our best cow-maker sires and sexed semen options today.

BACKED BY A PIONEERING HISTORY
Performance testing and genetic evaluation have always been critical to ABS and our ability to provide quality genetic products that deliver expected results to our customers. From large scale progeny test programs in the 1960’s and some of the industry’s first Estimated Breeding Values to the popularization of Economic Index values, ABS has always been a pioneer in beef cattle genetic improvement.
