74 Reg. Angus Bulls – $8,390

Risse Angus is owned by Nick and Gina Risse, in partnership with his son, Tucker and his wife Kelby. These bulls are big and stout.  A big crowd was on hand to nearly fill the Martin Livestock Auction barn.  Many of their customers are longtime, repeat buyers. This was one of the heaviest set of bulls that I’ve seen this spring.
