This year marks the 5th annual edition of the public release. In collaboration with 38 performance focused breeders who are part of the Vytelle network, the company curates the world’s largest multibreed efficiency database. Each year, this Top 150 Proven Bulls list showcases the cream of the crop among more than 324,763 animals spanning 29 diverse breeds.
“At Vytelle, we are committed to empowering cattle producers with the tools and data they need to drive sustainable genetic progress,” remarked Kerryann Kocher, Chief Executive Officer of Vytelle. “The continued development and expansion of the Vytelle network and release of the Top 150 Proven Bulls for the fifth year in a row, represents our dedication to precision and data-driven decision-making, providing insight for cattle producers worldwide to optimize their mating selections with confidence.”
The bulls featured in the Top 150 Proven Bulls list meet stringent criteria, including:

- Testing and reporting via Vytelle’s innovative Vytelle SENSETM system
Leveraging the world’s largest multi-breed database, Vytelle continues to revolutionize the industry by furnishing producers with invaluable insights into feed efficiency and performance, crucial for maximizing long term profitability.
Lisa Rumsfeld, Vice President of Business Development & Strategy at Vytelle, remarked, “The significance of selecting for feed efficiency cannot be overstated, particularly as feed costs account for a substantial portion of a beef producer’s expenses. Our network partners are witnessing heightened interest in their programs, underscored by the potential for marketing premiums associated with verified feed efficiency and methane emissions reduction claims.”
