Van Beek Angus Ranch, owned by Jeff Van Beek, along with his family and longtime herdsmen, Troy and Billie Jo LaFave, hosted a good crowd at their annual production sale held at Mobridge Livestock. Their ranch is near Pollock, South Dakota.
These bulls are bred for growth, maternal traits, and carcass characteristics. These long, big-middled cattle had a good look to them. I felt that this was the biggest, stoutest set of bulls that Jeff had brought to town.
