From DNA to Dollars: How AgBoost Turns Trait Data into Smarter Cattle Decisions

You’ve got the IGENITY® results. You know which calves have the genetic edge in marbling, feed efficiency, or maternal calving ease. But now what?

Most producers either file the results away or guess their way forward—because, let’s face it, trait data can feel overwhelming.

AgBoost exists to fix that.

We take complex trait data and turn it into a decision-making engine built for real-world operations. Whether you're running a commercial herd or managing seedstock, here’s how AgBoost helps you use your data—without needing a Ph.D. in genomics.

Trait Ranking That Makes Sense

AgBoost’s platform automatically ranks and organizes animals based on customizable trait filters. You can sort your herd by:

• Best heifers for replacement selection
  
  
• Bulls with top carcass or growth potential
  
  
• Calves with low RFI for better feed conversion
  
  
• Animals with strong docility for easier handling
  
  

This allows you to build groups with clear intent—no more guessing who’s “probably good.”

Multi-Trait Analysis for Balanced Breeding

Focusing on a single trait (like growth rate or marbling) can backfire if it leads to bigger calves and harder births—or faster gains and poor feed efficiency.

AgBoost’s engine weighs multiple traits together, so you can:

• Select bulls that balance carcass quality and reproductive soundness
  
  
• Pair sires and dams based on complementary traits
  
  
• Create herd goals and benchmark future generations against them
  
  

Think of it as “genetic matchmaking” designed to improve the next calf crop—not just the one in front of you.

Genetic Matchmaking: Making Better Mating Decisions

Our Matchmaking tool uses each animal’s full genomic profile to guide breeding decisions.

You can:

• Avoid mating carriers of undesirable traits like Curly Calf Syndrome (AM)
  
  
• Reduce inbreeding risk by tracking relatedness
  
  
• Improve overall herd uniformity and productivity by pairing for balanced offspring
  
  

Over time, this approach doesn’t just improve individual calves—it improves your entire herd.

Predict Performance, Cut Costs

With insights into Average Daily Gain, Feed Efficiency, and Residual Feed Intake, AgBoost can help you:

• Identify which calves will finish faster
  
  
• Cut feed costs by choosing animals that grow on less
  
  
• Optimize culling decisions based on actual ROI potential
  
  

It’s not just about growth—it’s about growing smart.

Track Progress Across Generations

One of AgBoost’s biggest advantages is continuity. We let you track animals from birth to sale to replacement, using DNA as a throughline.

That means:

• Keeping digital performance records in one place
  
  
• Building genetic “scorecards” for each sire or dam
  
  
• Monitoring how your decisions impact ROI over time
  
  

With every generation, your herd gets more efficient—and your bottom line gets stronger.

Easy, Visual, Mobile-Ready

The AgBoost platform was designed for producers, not data scientists.

• Use it on desktop or mobile
  
  
• Export trait rankings for sales or replacement decisions
  
  
• Pull reports before marketing, sorting, or mating
  
  

It’s tech built to fit your chute-side reality, not the other way around.
