OUR STORY
Being a fifth-generation ranch in the heart of wonderful Wyoming going back to 1895, raising cattle is a way of life, but here at Lucky 7 Angus, we have always wanted to do better for the environment. We are stewards of the land and must leave it better than we found it for the next generation.
When we raise our cattle, we strive to raise them in the best ecosystem possible, allowing them to have clean air, clean water, and a clean food source. This allows us to create a healthier cow, but what if while doing that we create a better environment?
Lucky 7 Angus has been using a feed testing system for upwards of 15 years to scientifically locate proven feed efficient genetics. The system measures the amount of feed consumed by each individual animal in the test. At the end of each test, the data is gathered and analyzed.
New herd bulls are picked, and momma cows are selected based on feed data acquired to produce the next generation that is more efficient than the last. By doing this we have been able to create genetics that eat less but gain more, and produce less methane, while cutting down the feed cost in some instances by 40%.
No private seed stock producer in the world tests as many of their animals, for as many years as Lucky 7 Angus has been testing our herd.
