The 2026 Ace In the Hole Sale is another strong offering of Angus & Simmental from the best of our program. We have elected to hold the auction in an online-only format this spring because our inventory is lower than normal as we are transitioning to selling only age-advantaged bulls. We will use this format for the next offering as well until we convert our entire herd so that we can sell these tougher and more efficient bulls to you in the future.
The cattle may be seen anytime on the ranch. All are guaranteed fertile - the pairs have their guarantees on their sides - and all bulls are guaranteed through the first season. They are raised North Dakota tough and we have no doubt in their abilities to handle any environment. Trucking is available anywhere and we can house bulls until early May if you like as well.
Thank you so much for your continued support and interest in our breeding program. We will continue to strive to produce the best quality and value for you.
Please stop in or call.
