2012 Namken Red Angus Bull Sale Catalog Now Online

Dear Cattlemen and Women,

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

With record prices for cull cows, bulls and calves, we should all be enthusiastic about the cattle industry today! Now is not the time for you to sacrifice quality genetics that will lead you in the right direction. We are offering 20 of our finest yearling bulls this year. We offer some very unique bloodlines that you may not find elsewhere. Although these lines may not be the most popular, or be known as a competitor in the “bull of the month club,” we pride ourselves on offering you quality, well balanced cattle with structural soundness that will last. With the diversity in genetics that we have to offer, there should be a bull that will compliment almost any herd.

The bulls are offered on a “first come first served” basis. These bulls will sell fast with the sale beginning once the catalog has been printed, so please do not hesitate to call! We would like to thank our repeat customers that know the genetic value in these bulls and are eager to see the new potential herd sires that we have to offer this year.

These bulls are developed on a 42NEG high roughage ration by Frontier Mills from Yankton, SD. These bulls are not butterball fat, just pushed enough to express their genetic potential and give you longevity in your investment. If you have any questions about the ration, contact Ben Hellman at (605)665-2441. He would be glad to visit with you on the nutrition of these bulls or develop a custom ration for you.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,
Jared, Lacey and Paisley 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!
