Deep Creek Angus, owned by TJ and Jeanine Gabriel, hosted a huge crowd with many repeat buyers on hand. Their ranch is located west of Ft. Pierre and north of Midland, South Dakota. The number one priority for the Gabriel family is their customers. They take care of their customers—not only guaranteeing their bulls, but offering service to them all year long.

This was a very strong sale clear through to the end. There was good demand for the commercial heifers that were influenced by the Deep Creek breeding program. Give TJ a call to visit the ranch and see the cow herd and next year’s crop of bulls.
