Donati Ranch

Pathfinder Cows


The Pathfinder Angus program was started in 1978 by the American Angus Association in an effort to identify superior cows based on their records of performance from Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR). In identifying these superior cows, emphasis was placed on early puberty, breeding and early calving, followed by regularity of calving and above-average performance of the offspring.

While outstanding cows can be identified after their first or second calves, the Pathfinder Report requires a minimum of three calves from a cow to determine her regularity of calving and ability to produce superior calves for weaning weight year after year. In addition, an important part of the report is the list of bulls that have sired five or more qualifying females.

The Angus Pathfinder Report identifies cows that have excelled in production based on AHIR records of performance. To qualify for the report, a cow must have produced a calf measured through AHIR in the past 18 months.

Every year, Donati Ranch has consistently ranked at the top among fellow California Angus breeders with the number of elite Pathfinder cows in our program.
