Fellow Cattlemen,
What an exciting time to be in the cattle business. It’s great to see cow/calf producers finally getting paid for their work and capital investments. Feeder cattle finally priced where they should be, cow/calf producers who own the factory are in the driver seat in my opinion. Most analysts I’ve listened to say that national cow herd expansion has not started in earnest and demand for feeder cattle should remain strong for some time.
Welcome to the 2026 Nichols Angus Bull Sale. We are excited to offer this set of bulls to you. We feel the quality runs deep from top to bottom.
All of the registered bulls have been genomic tested for increased EPD accuracy and are parentage verified. We have also added a few commercial bulls to the sale. We have never bred for extremes, but rather a balance of optimum performance coupled with maternal traits in an eye appealing phenotype.
As always, the bulls are guaranteed the first breeding season and can be viewed any time before sale day at the ranch. If we can be of any assistance or answer any questions do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you for your interest and taking time to look through our 2026 bull sale offering. We understand that there are many options for you to acquire new breeding stock and for taking time to consider Nichols Angus.
We are truly grateful. We look forward to seeing you at the sale day.
- The Nichols Family
