Page 2 - DK Red Angus Bull and Open Heifer Production Sale – March 2, 2019

Welcome to our 41st annual sale. Ralph and Helen purchased their fi rst Red
Angus female in 1961. They began selling bulls through private treaty and
at the local auction market in Timber Lake for many years prior before they
had their fi rst offi cial cataloged sale 41 years ago.
We have enjoyed producing Registered Red Angus all our lives and have
met many producers and have made some lifelong friends. We are very
proud of that fact that our genetics have played a role in commercial pro-
grams that are recognized for top selling replacement quality females and
steers that push the scales to the limit. Your success is what drives us to
select and produce cattle that are exceeding industry average.
The Red Angus breed just keeps growing in popularity and doesn’t show
any indication of slowing any time soon. Heifers are out selling their steer
The Pederson Family mates and more and more breed associations are using red females for
their crossbreeding selections. With the advancement of technology there
are numerous tools to help with herd bull selection. Feel free to visit us
anytime and we can use our decades of experience to answer questions that
will assist you in fi ne tuning your herd.
Our philosophy hasn’t changed about raising cattle – stay consistent and
selecting for a balanced set of traits. We simply focus on females that are
Gary and Sue and Bricelyn feminine, highly maternal, with outstanding feet and leg structure, and level
udders. We strive to have these qualities along with cattle that are deep
sided, long bodied and plenty of muscle wrapped up in a quiet and easy to
handle package.
The bulls and replacement heifers were weaned in mid-September and the
bulls will be carcass ultrasounded in late February. A supplement sheet
will be available on our website (www.pedersonredangus.com) and our
Facebook Page (Broken Heart Ranch). Videos will also be available on our
website and Facebook page.
Oahe Vet will be our sale day vet and we plan on having the commercial
heifers palpated and the bulls evaluated by them also. We will not have them
semen tested due to their young age but we do stand behind them when
Chad, Lisa and that time arrives prior to breeding. We always stand behind our cattle except
Bricelyn during the heart of lush green grass season while wearing church clothes.

We would like to thank our hired man, Tim Johnson for his help through
the past years. Tim is a valuable asset to our operation, and we couldn’t get
everything done without him.
We would like to thank everyone for attending and considering using our
genetics in your program. Bull selection is never an easy task and feel
free to ask us any questions about the bulls. We will help you select bulls
with the traits that you would like to improve and help you get to your end
product goal.
