Performance, Pounds, Profit... The -M-Brand Guarantee!

Our operation, like many, have seen and experienced a lot of adversity over the course of 100 years, but we wouldn’t have it any other way, staying true to the Angus Cattle. While we are able to work hard every day as a family, our goal is to raise cattle that will best suit our customers and dear friends. It is because of you, that we get the opportunity to do this for a living. Here at Miller Angus Farms, we are five generations strong that have worked diligently over the course of 100 years, to build a legacy that stands the test of time. We have built a long-lasting cow herd on the fundamentals of performance, pounds and profit with great phenotype that go out and work for the commercial cattlemen and cattlewomen. These are the best genetics that go generations deep to keep our cattle consistent and true to our vision. Our promise to you is to raise the absolute best product of Angus cattle to fit your needs and suit your operations that will make your cow herd profitable. Throughout our 5 generations, we have remained strong and tend to keep that promise, continuing our progressive approach to raising the best genetics. This isn’t just our job, but our livelihood as a family.

Words cannot express how thankful we are for our dear customers. Without you, none of this would be possible. The cattle speak for themselves, but the lasting relationships we have built over the years will always hold a special place in our hearts. You are our #1 priority and that is what matters most to us. We are honored and proud to call you friends and can’t thank you enough for believing in our program and trusting our product that we have to offer. It’s always a joy to see the successes of your operations whether it’s topping the markets with feeder steers, replacement quality heifers, or raising herd bulls that find popularity within your own sales. We are all in this together as we strive to feed the world from pasture to plate. Thank you for choosing us and our genetics as your source for bulls and females.

The uncertainty of the future is on the minds of many, but, while keeping God at the forefront of our focus, we know that with Him all things are possible. We are seeing all time high feeder calf prices and fat cattle prices. Commodity prices are soaring and the same goes for input costs. It’s not cheap to run cattle and make a living, but please know that our promise to you will never change. Regardless of how times change, our family operation will remain the same, striving to raise the quality cattle that you expect. Our customer service doesn’t end at the conclusion of the sale. We want to keep in touch and know how our bulls and females are working for you.

It’s with great honor and privilege that we invite you all to our sale this year. This offering of bulls and females is the deepest and highest of quality that we have offered to date. We guarantee you that this is one of the most diverse and well-rounded sales that you will attend. As always, we are offering the top tier cut of the yearling bulls. These bulls are the cream of the crop with 55% of the yearlings calving Ease Heifer Bulls! They will be semen tested prior to sale day. We have a set of proven, hardworking 2-year-old bulls that we used this past year. They will be trich and semen tested, ready to go to work for you. The 2-year-olds are not leftovers or slouches. We specifically picked these 15 off the top end of our large private treaty group that we offer every year and 65% of them are calving Ease Heifer Bulls. Once again, we are offering a nice group of young to middle aged May calving cows. We keep moving our calving dates up each year to better provide more mature bulls for our customers. We feel this will be a great opportunity for the purebred buyers and commercial cattlemen who calve in the spring. They are bred to some of our top herd bulls, many of them have sons in this sale.

New this year, we are offering an even sweeter deal to our celebration sale. We have hand selected 10 open yearling heifers from our replacement pen. These heifers have a rich history of generational Pathfinders in their pedigree. They are sired by industry leading bulls and backed by proven maternal performing cows. Now is the time to invest in some great genetics to add to your program. This year we are offering two of the most unique and dynamic donor cows. They have been the backbone of our program for the last few years. This goes with our promise to offering our very best.

Once again, we would like to thank you for the years of trust and support in our genetics at Miller Angus Farms, but more importantly, we are grateful for the years of friendships. The bulls and females are available for viewing any time prior to the sale at our farm. Videos of the bulls can be found on DVauction.com prior to sale day, as well. We hope to see you in Watertown, Monday March 27th, 2023.

God Bless,
