75 Years
of Total Commitment to breeding quality Angus cattle!
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to fulfill our family dream of enjoying 75 years of raising Angus. We value our friends, customers, partners and cattle enthusiasts who have made this possible!
Dear Fellow Cattle Producers,
Welcome to the 52nd Annual TC Ranch Bull Sale. We are honored to have you take time to evaluate this extremely functional set of bulls developed with the commercial cattleman in mind. It is our goal at TC Ranch to provide fault free cattle that will work in many different environments. Also for your consideration, there is an extremely functional and useful set of replacement heifers from the heart of the herd that will consist of brood cows, future donors and overall profitable females that offer very flexible mating possibilities.
These bulls have been developed on the ranch this year in very large lots to ensure longevity and soundness. Whether you are looking for strong maternal traits, carcass traits or a very well-balanced trait bull, I feel like this set of bulls has something that is right for you program to continue moving your herd forward with tremendous success. We invite you to stop by any time and view these animals and if you have any questions, we would love to discuss which animals would fit your need the best. Additionally, I would like the opportunity to discuss your marketing plans for future calf crops.
In this outstanding time of strong markets, it is easy to get complacent. We strive to push all boundaries in the cattle industry to maximize profits while we can. As an industry, we fight constantly against ignorance of what we do and why we do what we do!!! We must find new platforms to tell our story day in and day out. Even though the only way the public might understand what we do is to let them go hungry, that is not in our nature as an industry.
If you cannot attend our sale but would like to purchase, please reach out to me prior to the sale and discuss our sight unseen guarantee. It is second to none. Thank you for considering TC Ranch as your genetic provider. There are many choices these days but few have made their sole living for generations as seed stock providers and it is an honor that we do not take lightly. Please join us on February 25th at the ranch, as our commitment to quality Angus cattle has never been higher.
