The Source — Field Notes: Why SmartBulls Work

In this Field Notes episode of The Source, host Jamie Wolf sits down with Andy Tegethoff to talk about the idea behind SmartBulls® and why mature, experienced bulls can make sense for commercial cattle operations. Rather than spending time and resources developing a young bull, SmartBulls are bulls that have already been through additional age and development and are ready to go to work immediately. Jamie and Andy discuss how the program works, the advantages mature bulls can offer, and why many producers value bulls that have already proven durability and real-world performance. The episode also previews the upcoming SmartBulls® sale at Fallon Livestock on March 17, where around 30 head of mature, ready-to-work bulls will sell.

Episode 5: Sire Lines

Jamie Wolf and Cody Jorgensen sit down to discuss the sire lines at Jorgensen Land & Cattle and how they’ve shaped the program over time. Cody explains the tag color system, the history behind each line, and how fertility, productive females, and performance remain the foundation of every breeding decision. This episode focuses on connecting pedigree to phenotype and explaining the long-term thinking behind the genetics.

Episode 4: Modern Tools, Long-Term Thinking
