We will continue to offer new genetics that compliment our cowherd and will help keep you in the lead! We have always been committed to service after the sale and love making your “Sale Day” successful when you sell the progeny out of our bulls. We have always said “There is way more to selling bulls than just selling bulls.” We are consistently placing your calves, bred cattle, and even weigh up cows into our customers hands that we have developed relationships with in the past 20+ years in the livestock marketing business.
Every bull will be semen checked and evaluated by Dr. Nate Illiff of Sisseton Vet Clinic prior to delivery. The bulls are guaranteed to be good breeders, and will completely stand behind them if taken care of properly. Again, we want your cows bred and will work with you. We have stood behind these bulls for 20+ years and will continue to do so.
Sandy Willow Red Angus will be retaining 50% semen interest in all sale bulls.
All Bulls Have Received:
• Birth: Alpha 7 w/A and vitamin A, D, E
• Grass time: Vision 7 somnus, triangle 5, ONCE pmH, and pinkeye shot
• September: Vision 7 somnus, prism 5, ONCE pmH, valbazen wormer
• Boostered At Weaning: Vision 7 somnus, pyramid 5, and poured with cydectin
• Semen Test: virasheild 6 FP VL5, pinkeye shot, poured & wormed, and magnet
• The entire offering is born, raised, and developed right here on the Ranch with no commingling of other herds to ensure you are getting the cleanest set of bulls anywhere
Any bull with a bid option by the price will be available if you would like to raise the bid. We do this on a select few herd bull candidates just to give everyone an opportunity on that bull. We don’t drag this process out but it does work well if two parties are interested in a certain bull.
We will continue to develop these bulls until near May 1st with no extra cost and when they are semen tested we will deliver free of charge up to 300 miles and will assist the best we can above that. We have never handed anyone a trucking bill at delivery.

Our 2025 Sale Leads off with one of the most complete, balanced bulls in the pen. Willow Consistent 1910 is a full brother to last year’s High Selling Bull at $19,500. Again, this year Goldie 1910 Dam has done it again, the old school way, natural and on her own. Generations of 100-109 mppa females in the pedigree and built in calving ease while maintaining top 3% for growth and performance. Big EPD profile on a wide bodied, attractive herd sire prospect. The most “Consistent” thing around here is our cow families and their non-pampered performance! Come study the bull. He will take the breed in the right direction.

He had as much body, mass, and muscle as any bull in the offering, while being backed by the perfect udder Msi Rambo Tvo 5318 dam. The prosperity calves are born easy, have a stylish look and are big quartered. They are definitely the go to for power, performance, and plenty of calving ease. We look forward to a bunch more this spring. He has a real herd bull presence and is easy to handle. There are over ten sons in the offering.
Willow Power Eye 2001 has as much middle, muscle, flank, and natural hind quarter as any herd bull that has come out of our program. He is clean up front, has a ton of length and has a big top!

Willow Horizon 2204 checks all the boxes and looks good doing it. A bull that is super sound, soft-sided, deep from the front to the back, and wide topped. The deep cherry red color is built in and will pass on to his offspring. As breeders we are all after a herd sire with a unique pedigree, backed by 4 generations high mppa cow family and one that puts an extra look on his calves! We are excited for the future of this bull and plan on sampling him. These Matchmakers are real and this may be the best one we have made! You’ll notice him off in the “Horizon”.
“Matchmaker” was our pick and high selling bull at the Schuler Red Angus sale in the spring of 2022. We added him to our program for our next go to calving ease bull and wow he worked. These calves are consistent and the right color and look with a ton of vigor. He is backed by a 6-year-old cow that has maintained a 108 mppa and all 5 of her calves first time AI’d. He is a huge deal at our place and it will carry on through his sons. The performance in his first sons is at the top of an already performance focused pen. They are real complete made front to back. Come take a look at over 20 sons in the offering.
If you need a sleep all night calving ease bull, here he is. This square made Matchmaker son is for you. Out of the very productive Dynette cow family that consistently raises the good ones. A 103 MPPA dam that laid a solid set of EPDs on here first try. You won’t find many that are more balanced than him. Buy with confidence. Suitable for Heifers.
This stout made Matchmaker son got three stars when he walked out of the trimming chute. Style with thickness and a gentle bull. He carries a well-balanced set of EPDs also. You will hear that again and again in our catalog. We don’t chase extremes. I believe a balanced set of epds will yield a more consistent calf crop. Use this guy on your second calvers and keep his daughters as they will be the easy keeping kind.
Willow Matchmaker 2236 is a smooth looking, cool style kind of bull with rib and flank that is real. Power, longevity, and carcass on the dam side along with calving ease and a super sound sire. We love balance here at SWRA and this bull is just that. After you see the big bodied 106 mppa mother you’ll pick this bull!
Matchmaker son out of a Quarterback daughter that is going to have a big future here. She has earned herself a 104 mppa on first try and bred back first cycle doing it. A lot of performance in this bull and it is at the top of the pen for gain ability and pounds. These Matchmakers are all born unassisted and they come with a lot of weaning weight. The best part of this bull is he has potential to last like his 15-year-old Willow Jackie 978 granddam did; we retired her after weaning her 14th calf and looked like she was good for 5 more!
These Matchmaker calves are real and the consistency of them is unreal from calving ease, growth, feet, and legs to body width and phenotype. He has done everything we could expect, but at an even higher level. His first daughters will be in production this spring and they have a momma cow look! This bull is out of our top Jackie cow family that has been around here since the start 28 years ago. Study this bull and the pedigree. He is at the top of my list for complete bulls!
This matchmaker son has caught my eye all summer. He is thick made and has the Matchmaker look. Come take a look at 4 generations of cows still on the ranch working! He will have plenty of growth to use on some young cows. He has that 80-pound birth weight that everyone is after.

At Sandy Willow we calve later than most purebred breeders, so we are strict on soundness, high libido, scrotal, and the mothers have to calve in a tight interval. Our bred heifers and cows all start at the same time and the treatment is the same. The weak links fell through the cracks years ago and now we have a set of cows that makes it easy. Come take a look, we want these genetics to go to work for you. 2209 has got more top, rib, and flank than any in the pen; Matchmaker x 8-Ball = New Blood!
This Clifftop daughter has done a nice job on her first try and to receive a 5/5 dam and udder score in our group of females she must have done everything right on her own in a commercial cattleman’s setting. We love to work but have a zero tolerance for babysitting a cow around here. Glenn is known to retag a cow with a Tues tag if she ever needs help in a headgate. That fall she goes to town on Tuesday, and after a few years of that we don’t change many tags nowadays. Old school rules around here, no matter what the numbers say they should be!
Willow Roxie 1902 gets a 5/5 score in the calving book for overall dam score and udder. We can’t make them any more complete! This Matchmaker son is long bodied and has that sweet cherry red color everyone is after. Big scrotal and balanced bull.
Here is a sure shot calving ease Matchmaker son. They are smooth made with a little extra length. If you have heifers to breed this might be your bull. Suitable for heifers.
Smooth made matchmaker son. He is long bodied with a moderate stance. Suitable for heifers.
9 Mile Franchise has done a lot of good for the Red Angus breed and we have seen it work here right from the start. We have been using him from day one and crossed with a set of good footed, broody cows, he flat works! These cattle are gentle, easy fleshing, moderate at birth kind of cattle that have oustanding carcass value. We have been excited about the Legend X Franchise corss and now add American Made to it, might be the perfect recipe. Come take a look, every one like another.

Willow Franchise 2016 is a full brother to last year’s super complete Franchise son that is working for Olson Red Angus near Grenora, North Dakota. It is crazy how she has stamped another one and did it the old school way. No embryo- No Donor, just the real deal! This 2016 son is square from his feet to his back and long bodied and full of meat and muscle. The numbers are as real as the DNA says, and wow, what an opportunity to add a no miss Franchise to your program. I know looks aren’t everything, but the calves out of this guy will make any auctioneer sit up and clear his throat.
Franchise son out of a good footed, square uddered Cowboy Kind daughter of Tigh’s. She has had some good ones, and this one might just be the right one to help pay for Tigh’s first semester at NDSU this fall! He is very balanced and good numbered and will last a long time being out of his River cow family.
Respect is our new herd sire that keeps performance in the breed all while focusing on good udders and maternal traits! The following sons in the offering are exactly what our commercial customers are after and will be a good out cross for any breeder.
Exciting when our new genetics and Herd Sires work on the first try, but when you mate them to a big bodied long-sided 107mppa Legend daughter it kind of helps things happen! Willow Respect 1808 walks around like a real bull and has super width over the top and a rear end that makes you look twice. This bull is gaining at the top of the pen and has all the pieces to be heard about in the Red Angus breed. Not many power bulls are as maternally sound as 1808. Plus, he may be as good looking as any bull we have delivered. This guy will add some “Respect” to the Red Angus breed!
American Made was our pick and the leadoff bull in the 2020 Pieper Red Angus Sale. He could be on of the best One of a Kind sons to date. We are excited with what we have seen in his first calf crop, as he stamps them all with bone, body length and width, and that signature rear quarter you won’t find anywhere else in the breed. We bought him for his power and maternal side, but he has really rang the bell for consistent calving ease. His dam, Bieber Tilly 399W, has also produced a breed great, Bieber Rolling Deep, so the best part may be yet to come. His first sons sold last year here and at Piepers. Come get ahead of the game and take a look - THEY ARE TRULY “AMERICAN MADE.”
This guy is one of the best American Made sons we have raised. He has a little extra frame, a dark cherry red haircoat, and more style than most. His maternal sister is in the bred heifer pen. If you haven’t tried an American made son yet, this might be the one. Walk him around the pen, you will like him. Suitable for heifers.
