Join us October 11th for the 2026 Wisconsin Angus Association Field Day, hosted by GenStart Angus in Trempealeau, WI!

2026 Wisconsin Angus Field Day

We’re excited to welcome members and guests to GenStart Angus for an afternoon of education, fellowship, and an opportunity to tour the GenStart operation.

Get to Know Our Host: GenStart Angus

Neil McDonah and Joan McDonah are fourth-generation farmers in Trempealeau, WI. The sibling duo started GenStart in 2012 to evolve with the growing demand for reproductive advancements and have been partnered with Trans Ova as a satellite since 2016.

Today, GenStart operates a herd of 150 donors and recipients with both spring and fall calving. Within their registered Angus herd, they focus on balanced EPDs and $Values that meet the needs of like-minded seedstock producers as well as the everyday commercial cattleman.

Data collection and carcass scanning are important components of their program, helping guide herd improvements and mating selections. GenStart has sold embryos both domestically and internationally and has participated in several consignment sales, including the Wisconsin State Sale and Cattlemen’s Congress.

As Neil and Joan put it: “Please come for lunch and stay for the comradery!”

We look forward to giving attendees an opportunity to learn more about the GenStart program and the work they are doing in reproductive technology and Angus genetics.

The afternoon will begin with lunch at noon, followed by guest speakers at 1 PM:

  • Kade Lindback, Regional Business Manager with Trans Ova Genetics
  • Glenn Davis, owner of Genetic Pathways, a consulting and marketing firm based near Belmont, WI

Attendees will also have the opportunity to view staged cows and heifers from the GenStart herd and tour the GenStart IVF facility, offering a closer look at the operation and its reproductive program.

There will also be two $250 gift certificates available to attendees! The door prize drawing will take place during the event. Thank you Trans Ova for this generous donation!
