A productive cow is valuable. A productive cow that stays in your herd year after year is an investment.

Longevity is a cornerstone of the Santa Gertrudis breed, with females recognized for their ability to remain productive through multiple breeding seasons.

In fact, 30% of Santa Gertrudis calves registered in 2025 were produced by cows older than 8 years. More productive years. Greater lifetime value. That's the Santa Gertrudis advantage.

Meet Jewett Borden III, our District 6 At-Large Director and cattleman at Cedar Creek Farm in Shepherdsville, Kentucky.

Jewett runs a cow-calf to finish operation with purebred and crossbred Santa Gertrudis, taking it all the way to a butcher shop and retail store right on the farm, true seedstock to steak.

He got his start in the breed from a mentor in his hometown and has seen firsthand how well Santa Gertrudis performs in Kentucky. For Jewett, SGBI membership is what drives the breed forward: more members means more reach, more regions, and more opportunity to show what these cattle can do.

Want to learn more about the Star 5 program or what a purebred Santa Gertrudis program could look like for your operation? Reach out to Jewett or your district director to get started.

She's the foundation of your whole operation.

A cow that breeds back on time, raises a heavy calf, and does it year after year without you babying her — that's what Santa Gertrudis females bring to the table. Moderate-framed, easy-fleshing, and built to perform in heat and drought conditions that would have other cows open and losing body condition.

The numbers don't lie. The females in this breed work.

📍 Drop your location below — we'd love to see where these cattle are working for you.

Committee Report | Breed Standards

The Breed Standards Committee has had a highly productive spring and summer. During this period, the committee approved both a formal complaint review process for Breed Standards and a process for verifying cattle that meet the Standards of Excellence.

Once cattle have been reviewed and approved by the Breed Standards Committee, a Standards of Excellence stamp may be placed on their registration papers. Approved animals will also be entered into Digital Beef as meeting the Standards of Excellence.

This summer, at Junior Nationals, the committee reviewed 236 animals, all of which were approved and had their registration papers stamped.

Hello, fellow Santa Gertrudis breeders,

It has been a busy summer and early fall for all of us, with cattle sales, shows, and the everyday life. As we get ready for fall weaning, we have a good opportunity to take a closer look at this year’s calf crop and see how our herds are progressing.

Each calf crop represents months of planning, breeding decisions, and hard work. We all want to know how those decisions are working out. Recording weaning weights, dates, and accurate calf identification helps us see what is working well and where we can improve.

I encourage our members to make data collection part of their weaning routine. A little planning ahead can help us gather the information we need while the cattle are already being handled. Complete records on the whole calf crop give us a clearer picture of our herds.

Once that information is collected, let’s take the next step and submit it to the association office. The records we keep at home become even more valuable when they contribute to our shared database. Each member has something to contribute, and that information helps all of us make better breeding and selection decisions.
