2011 Namken Red Angus Bull Sale Catalog Now Online

Dear Cattlemen,

Welcome to our ninth annual Namken Red Angus Private Treaty Bull Sale!

This year’s sale includes 18 of our finest yearling bulls. The sires of these bulls being offered bring forth some outstanding qualities as well as offer some unique genetics. Some of the genetics in this sale will not be found in any other bull sales! We believe this gives you the opportunity to make genetic advancements to further your herd in the right direction. The bulls are available anytime and are sold on a “first come first served” basis. These bulls usually go fast so do not hesitate to call if you have any questions. There are not a large number of bulls being offered as compared to some sale catalogs as we are continuing to grow our operation. We feel the quality of genetics available in these bulls will be useful in many herds.

Looking for a bull to use on heifers? We have a great selection! All of the bulls offered that have a gray background in their row on the spreadsheet will work on heifers. Yes, this is half of the offering including one black red carrier! Yes, this was a planned mating and not just an oops. In fact Lot 34’s dam is a donor cow that is 15 years old! We will have footnotes available on all of the bulls on the website if you would like more information.

These bulls are developed on a 42NEg high roughage ration balanced by Frontier Mills.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Jared and Lacey Namken

Welcome to Namken Red Angus! We strive to continually produce high quality, structurally sound, and functional bulls and females that are bred to be versatile and compliment any operation. In addition to our registered Red Angus herd, we also run a sizable Red Angus-based commercial cow herd on our ranch in northeastern South Dakota, the progeny of which are marketed as feeder calves. Red Angus were chosen for their strong maternal traits, docility, and for the functionality and durability of the breed.

At Namken Red Angus, quality is a must and it is important to note that the registered herd is managed right alongside the commercial cow herd and they are given no special treatment. We expect our cattle to perform in their natural environment and our breeding program and emphasis on overall quality reflects that. Functionality is the cornerstone of our breeding philosophy. We place a great deal of importance on sound feet, legs, and udders.

Although we do not breed our cattle specifically for the show industry, our cattle do perform well in the ring and we market a portion of our registered bulls and females at a handful of livestock shows. However, the majority of our bulls are sold off the ranch by private treaty. We welcome visitors and encourage those interested in learning more about our program to give us a call. If you happen to see us at one of the cattle shows, please stop in and say hello. Better yet, stop on by the ranch anytime for a tour. We'd be glad to show you around!
