Kent and Janet LaDue, along with their son, Brian, raise their cattle on their ranch, Sunrise Angus, near Meadow, South Dakota. They offer strictly two-year-old Angus bulls, that are fed a high roughage ration to ensure longevity and soundness. These were high-performing bulls that could cover a lot of country and maintain good health. The LaDues have worked hard to breed and manage docility in their herd.

Many folks on the seats were return buyers, including those looking at and bidding on the replacement heifers.
