Page 2 - Pederson's Broken Heart Ranch Annual Production Sale – March 4, 2020, 80 Red Angus Bulls

Welcome to our 42nd 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 before they
had their fi rst offi cial cataloged sale 42 years ago. We have enjoyed produc-
ing registered Red Angus all our lives and have met many producers and
have made some lifelong friends.

We are very proud of the fact that our genetics have played a role in com-
mercial programs 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 anytime soon. Heifers are out selling their steer
mates and more and more breed associations are using red females for
The Pederson Family 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 in about raising cattle. “Staying
consistent” and selecting for a balanced set of traits. We simply focus on
females that are feminine, highly maternal, with outstanding feet and leg

structure, with 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.
2019 was an interesting year to say the least. We were blessed with ex-
traordinary moisture and found ourselves in the same predicament of many
– having to wean around rain events. We did get our bulls weaned mid- to
late-October. They weaned great and did exceptionally well this winter. We
will have them carcass ultrasounded late February and will have Oahe Vet
palpate and scrotal measure all the bulls. That information will be available
through a supplement sheet sale day or on our website(www.pedersonre-
dangus.com). We will not have them semen tested due to their young age
but we do stand behind them when that time arrives prior to breeding.
Chad and Lisa Once again, this year, the entire offering is parent verifi ed.
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.
