Welcome to Carlson Cattle Company annual Production sale this year’s special to us as we celebrate 20 years of raising Angus cattle. As we celebrate 20 years in Business, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who has supported Carlson Cattle Company along the way. What began as a small dream 2 decades ago has grown into a program, we are truly proud of. Looking ahead, we are excited about what the next 20 years will bring. Our commitment to improvement, integrity, and the future of the Angus breed has never been stronger. We will continue investing in genetics, technology, and the kind of cattle that make ranching better for everyone who depends on it.
At Carlson Cattle Company, our focus has always been on building strong maternal genetics that stand the test of time. The cows behind this program have quiet dispositions, structural soundness, and the kind of udder quality and longevity that keep them productive for years. Our maternal lines emphasize fertility, mothering ability, ensuring that each generation of cows is better than the last. Whether you’re building a replacement female program or strengthening the maternal foundation of your herd, we are proud to offer bulls and Heifers that will help you accomplish those goals.
In closing I want to thank our past customer for their support of our program. Working with our customers and ensuring they are satisfied is truly a great honor! I also want to thank Brock for all his hard work and stepping up when it matters most.
Thank you, John and Brock Carlson
