This week on Herd Report, we travel to Amherst, Colorado to spotlight Vision Angus and their powerful, maternal-focused Angus program.

Brent and Austin Veesenmeyer are building cattle with a clear vision: functional, fault-free, profit-driven genetics that work for commercial cattlemen. Their focus is simple — strong cows first. The bulls are the byproduct.

From standout Judgment sons and elite Deep Water progeny to a jaw-dropping set of Craftsman calves and a special Armstrong flush, this offering blends cow sense with modern science. Foot quality, udder integrity, disposition, performance and carcass merit — all without sacrificing the kind of maternal strength that keeps ranchers profitable.

The Herd Report Spotlight Series heads to Linwood, Nebraska, for a visit with Macholan Angus ahead of their 6th Annual Production Sale.

In this Spotlight Series episode of Herd Report, we sit down with Heath Klein of Klein Ranch to break down the program, the philosophy, and the bulls that are built to work in real-world commercial environments. From all-purpose and terminal sires to maternal standouts and calving-ease options, this offering is designed with the customer in mind.

We cover:

Customer-driven sire group organization

Outcross red genetics with serious carcass power

Maternal-focused bulls built for longevity

High-growth terminal prospects
