Welcome Welcome to Cowan Cattle Company. This day has been a long time in the making but well worth the wait. Our goal was to add value and strong genetics to the industry and that time has come. We are confident that our steers will compete and that our heifers will deliver for you for years to come. The reason we know our calves will deliver is that we know our cow families. There are not many sales where you will be able to see every mother of every calf in the pasture. All of these calves have been bred, calved, and fed by our family. For the future owners of our calves, we thank you and hope that the experience you have in and out of the show ring bring you as much happiness and satisfaction that this group of calves has given us over the last 8 months.

LOT 1 DOB 04/16/13 MAINE-ANJOU 438179 SIRE I-80 COWAN’S ALI HARD DRIVE
DAM WHO MADE WHO TAKE CHARGE GLITTER N GOLD
The last time we took a bull to Denver was back in 2003 and that bull has become nothing short of an industry changer that has crossed over from Purebred Maine to Club Calves. His name, of course, is Cowan’s Ali. Cowan’s Top Gun is an I-80 out of a Who-Made-Who/Chiller heifer and since the day he was born we knew he was something extra special. With calving ease on both sides and a spicy little twist on the dam’s side, we feel this one could be the next high-impact bull. Maternally, Cowan’s Top Gun is lights out with correctness, bone, smoothness, and depth-with shag to boot! We’re coming to Denver in 2014, are you ready to be our partner?
