Welcome to our 46th annual sale. In 1961 Ralph and Helen Peder-
son, 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 Red Angus Cattle and Quarter Horses –
using balanced selection to breed and raise livestock that work on
our customer’s ranches and ours. We have been fortunate to have
several repeat customers who have purchased cattle from us annu-
ally since that very first sale.
We have enjoyed raising Registered Red Angus all our lives and
have met many producers and 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
The Pederson Family 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 popu-
larity and doesn’t show any indication of slowing anytime soon.
Heifers are outselling 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.
Feel free to visit with us anytime and we can use our decades of

Gary and Sue experience to answer questions that will assist you in fine tuning
your herd. Our philosophy hasn’t changed any about raising cattle.
“Staying consistent” and selecting for a balanced set of traits. We
simply focus on females that are feminine and highly maternal with
outstanding feet and leg structure and 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.
The bulls were weaned in the middle of October. They weaned great
and did well during the cold spells and negative windchills. We will
have them carcass ultrasound evaluated late February and will have
Oahe Vet palpate and scrotal measure all the bulls. That informa-
Chad, Lisa, and tion will be available through a supplement sheet sale day or on our
Bricelyn 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 with GGP testing for enhanced EPDs.
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.
