Welcome TO HERNDON FARMS
I first want to welcome everyone to our sale. Thank you for coming. We appreciate all of our old friends returning and are proud to welcome our first time buyers. My goal every year for our production sale is to put together a group of bulls and females that any cattleman could be proud of, and I believe we’ve done that and continue to do that with the group we are offering today. We aim to raise as many great bulls as we can for the everyday cattlemen to be able to build his herd on.
In 2020 I was able to hire Kevin Asbury and his family, and I truly believe it was one of the best things I ever did. As Kevin, his team and I continue to grow the operation we have been fortunate to purchase some exceptional herds of cattle to add to our program. Most recently being, Mr. Randy Daniel’s Angus herd. Mr. Randy has spent the last forty years building and growing an exceptional group of Angus cows that he has now entrusted us with. We feel so blessed to add them to our program. This year, we also want to welcome Mr. Floyd Wampler to our team at Herndon Farms. We are so proud to not only call him a friend, but also family. I believe he and Kevin are two of the best men in the cattle industry and I’m proud to have them as well as the group of cattle they’ve put together for you all today.
The Lord has truly blessed my family and me. While we have had our challenges, He has seen us through them all and I want to give Him all the Glory. My children and grandchildren plan on raising great cattle for years to come, so I hope to create working relationships as well as friendships as we continue forward with our program.
I also want you to know that at Herndon Farms we stand behind our cattle 100%. If you have a problem, we want to know about it as soon as possible and work towards a favorable outcome with the new owner. Thank you again for coming and please let us know how we can help you.
Thank you,
Bo Herndon

Welcome to our 6th Annual Sale,
This year we will be offering 112 Registered Charolais bulls, 15 Registered Red Angus, 11- Red Angus Charolais Cross bulls, and 6- Commercial Charbray bulls. We are very excited with the bulls we are selling; I believe we have bulls that will make Herd Sires in the Purebred Industry as well as bulls that will excel on commercial cattle. As you all know the cattle market has had unprecedented highs, this is the time to use bulls that will add as many pounds at weaning as possible. I believe this offering of bulls will do just that. At this time, I also want to thank you the customer for your friendship and your continued support of our program. I also want each of you to know that at Herndon Farms we are here to serve you, our customers.
I wish you continued prosperity and hope to see you at the sale.
Thank you,
