Page 2 - Pederson's Broken Heart Ranch Red Angus Bull Production Sale – March 3, 2021

Welcome to our 43rd annual sale. In 1961, our Patriarch and Matriarch Ralph and
Helen Pederson, purchased their fi rst Red Angus females from Beckton Stock Farm.
This year marks the milestone of registering cattle with the Red Angus Association
of America for 60 years. We are proud to carry a similar tenure of raising registered
Quarter Horses and registering them with the American Quarter Horse Association.
That’s a lot of paperwork but through the years we have made a lot of great friends
and have many cherished memories. We began selling bulls private treaty and at
the local auction market in Timber Lake before hosting our fi rst offi cial cataloged
sale 43 years ago. While the types of cattle we have raised has changed over the
years, our unwavering commitment of raising honest, sound, hardworking cattle
has not.
We have enjoyed producing registered Red Angus all our lives and have met many
producers and have made lifelong friends. We are very proud of the fact that our
genetics have played a role in commercial programs that are recognized for top
The Pederson Family 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 Angus females
for their crossbreeding selections. With the advancement of technology there are
numerous tools to help with herd bull selection.
Gary and Sue Feel free to visit with us anytime and we can use our decades of experience to an-
swer questions that will assist you in fi ne tuning your herd. Our philosophy hasn’t
changed 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, and with level udders. We strive to have these
qualities combined with cattle that are deep sided, long bodied and have plenty of
muscle wrapped up in a quiet and easy to handle package.
2020 was another great year for hay and grass. We were blessed with timely
moisture. The bulls were weaned in the middle of October. They weaned great
and did exceptionally well this mild winter. We will have them carcass ultrasound
evaluated 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.pedersonredangus.com). We will not have the bull’s semen tested
Chad, Lisa, and due to their younger age, but we do stand behind them when that time arrives prior
Bricelyn to breeding. 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
year. Tim is a valuable asset to our ranch, 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.
