Varilek Angus 59th Annual Bull Sale

Dan Piroutek

Mick and Lynn Varilek and their family have built a proven reputation for producing quality Angus bulls, as this was the 59th sale held by Varilek Angus. They sell about half of their bulls as two year olds, and they are very readily received by their strong customer base of repeat buyers. Their two-year-old bulls were big and stout and easy to look at.

The yearling bulls are the earlier born calves, mostly all AI-sired by some of the Angus breed’s most popular sires. These yearling bulls were big and growthy, mostly being January calves.

This was a very aggressive sale with many buyers eager to compete for one or more of these good Angus bulls. Mick and Lynn Varilek have a beautiful sale barn facility, and the customers felt right at home with the warm hospitality. The family hosted a pre-sale preview and supper the night before the sale, allowing buyers the time to look over the cattle and discuss the genetics they were seeking.



Honors for “top selling bull of the day” were shared by two bulls, each selling for $8,500.
