Welcome to the 13th Annual LCL Angus Bull Sale.

This past year brought us a few changes. Caleb is attending his first year of Ag Business at Lakeland College and Easton left this fall to play AAA Hockey in Lloydminster. With both boys gone from home and no one left to do chores, Lee left his oilfield job behind. This transition has allowed us to focus even more on our product.

We research and select genetics that will continually improve our cowherd, which in turn gives us the opportunity to offer you some of the best Angus genetics available. With all new sire groups to choose from this year we selected sires keeping the mama cow in mind and feel this pen of bulls reflects that. This year’s offering is deep. A uniform style is displayed across the pen regardless of sire grouping. Additionally, the yearling heifer pen is strong and demonstrates the strengths that we are continually building within our herd.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our customers, friends, and neighbors. Your trust and loyalty mean more to us than words can express. We recognize that you have many options when selecting seed stock, and we are truly grateful for your continued support. We would like to thank the many people who keep our operation running smoothly and contribute to making sale day a success.

The bull pen is available for viewing at the ranch prior to sale day, where we invite you to join us for supper and hospitality the day of the sale. Please feel free to visit, call, or reach out with any questions. We would be happy to discuss your herd bull needs and allow us to help you find a bull that fits your program.

Welcome

The crew at LCL Angus has put together maybe their most exciting set of bulls to date for their 2026 sale. 2025 was not only a banner year for the area with the rain that was recieved over the summer, record cattle prices and an abundance of feed in the area. This also set the table to express the genetic potential of the cattle bringing us to this set of bulls presented in this catalog. The Gronk bulls are sure to catch your eyes with their muscle, hair and great look, they are hard to miss! The Intent sire group will impress the most astute cattlemen in their balance and structure. First set of calves out of the Shur Thing bull are exciting as well and his legacy will be felt through the keeping every heifer out of those bulls. Best of all you will appreciate the good cow families that are responsible for bringing the high quality calves year in and out! Stop in and have a look and some hospitality at LCL and be sure to stick around for the closeout on March 20th, great food, great people, it’s what the business is all about! If we can be of assistance in regards to the offering be sure to reach out to us at Castlerock!

3. The program allows you to place a proxy bid on any sale lot.

If the lot has a $2000 bid on it and you place a proxy bid of $3500 into the system, the computer will bid $2100 for you but if some one else bids $2200, the computer will again bid for you, this time at $2300. The system will look after your interest to a maximum of $3500.

FAQ:

WHAT IS RACEHORSE STYLE SALE CLOSE? Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding. HOW WILL EXTENDED BIDDING WORK? When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in.

DON’T MISS OUT ON THE...

I decided to increase my 4-H pen project to 4 heifers and stayed with the same style of heifer as last year. These heifers are home raised out of LCL angus bulls. They are pail fed oats twice a day and are very quiet. These girls all got lots of body, very deep and catch your eye in the pen. I would like to thank Mark Forsyth for taking the pictures and Shane Castle for buying my first pen of 3 last year. I would also like to thank Uncle Lee, Auntie Leanne and the boys for letting me sell in their sale. This is my 7th year in 4-H and am really enjoying this pen project. It’s great to learn the marketing side of the industry.
