39 Yearling Red Angus bulls – $3924
This was only the 3rd Annual sale for Niobrara Red Angus, but it is evident that they are driven and have a passion for breeding deep-bodied thick cattle. Though they are very number conscious in terms of EPDs, they don’t let that dictate the entire program. The main emphasis at Niobrara Red Angus is fertility, longevity and profitability.
