This herd has a long history of producing outstanding Angus cattle in South Dakota. Many Pathfinder designations are in the bloodlines of this herd. DNA testing, EPDs, and carcass ultrasound are used to assure that bidders know exactly what they are buying. Their Angus profiles are confirmed with GE-EPDs.

Mick and Lynn Varilek, along with their son, Ross, continue breeding cattle to meet the demands of the beef industry. These cattle are bred, fed, and developed on the Varilek ranch. The large crowd and the excellent quality of these cattle made for a very strong sale.
