Page 2 - Broken Heart Ranch Red Angus Bull Sale – March 2, 2022

Welcome to our 44th annual sale. In 1961, our patriarch and matriarch
Ralph and Helen Pederson, purchased their first Red Angus females from
Beckton Stock Farm. A little over six decades have gone by but we still have
the same philosophy of raising cattle and Quarter Horses. We also have
been fortunate to have repeat customers that date back to the beginning.
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-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 outselling their steer mates and more and more breed as-
sociations are using Red Angus females for their crossbreeding selections.
The Pederson Family With the advancement of technology, there are numerous tools to help with
herd bull selection.
Feel free to visit with us anytime and we can use our decades of experi-
ence to answer questions that will assist you in fine 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, with level
Gary and Sue 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.
2021 was an odd year for weather as we felt we were lucky in getting
some timely rains compared to many others in the country. The bulls were
weaned in the middle of October. They weaned great and did exceptionally
well in 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 bulls
semen tested due to their younger age, but we do stand behind them when
that time arrives prior to breeding. This year, the entire offering is parent
verified.
Chad, Lisa, and We would like to thank our hired man, Tim Johnson for his help through the
Bricelyn past year. Tim is a valuable asset to our ranch and we couldn’t get every-
thing 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, so 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.
