Selling 23 Purebred Yearling Angus Bulls

Welcome to our 15th annual bull sale. I recall last year I made a comment about the temps and those cattle prices; well both still continue to amaze me. I hope your ride along with this cattle market has been as rewarding as ours. This set of bulls has not disappointed in any aspect. The uniformity from top to bottom widens with every offering. It definitely is getting to be more of an argument each fall which bulls get the knife. For what its worth there is 20 AI’ed sires and only 3 bull bred bulls in this catalog. We would like to extend a big Thank You to the past customers for a great first 15 years and in the next 15 look forward to serving both the repeat and new buyers that invest in an Assmus bull. Remember at Assmus Angus we have he bull for you!

His dam is almost ten years old for a good reason. If you look at her weaning ratio I can think of six reasons.

With a stroke of lightning his mother was gone, but with a stroke of luck you can take him home.

We love the look of these Bullseye sons.

Save your spuds, this bull is the meat and the potatoes.

If you go with the “Consensus� how can you go wrong!
