A program built on results – proven by time. Great bulls start with great cows. VDAR is known as Montana’s Original Maternal Cowherd, built on functional longevity long before it had a name on paper. Our bulls are designed for real-world efficiency, durability, and long-term return. At VDAR, maternal strength has driven our program. The bulls offered are backed by a cow herd managed with discipline—held to a 42-day calving window for more than 20 years. The future of the cattle industry is built on females that last.

​“The fact that our calves perform at the level they do is not just because they are sired by VDAR bulls but also because, for generations, their dams have been as well. Longevity from the VDAR genetics has definitely carried over into our herd as we noticed at a recent branding that there was a cow who looked kind of old and we realized she was 16! She’d reliably produced a calf year after year, and most of those years, you couldn’t have picked her out as an older cow!”
