CARDEY RANCHES & ROAD RUNNER ANGUS Roadrunner Angus/Cardey Ranches are proud of our heritage. We, along with our son, David Olson and his family, work hard as a team to maintain a terrific set of cows and a bull battery that gets the job done well. Our calves are born in the eastern foothills without assistance - only Mother Nature. Our full intent is to raise cattle that will go on to excel in anyone’s program regardless of where they run cattle. We invite you to our ranches anytime to view the cow factory and sires we use in our program. Our cattle rank highest in our priorities next to our family. We really appreciate the outstanding job Snyder Feedlot does with our bulls on test. Cattle are our only business and have been for over 50 years. We pray we can add another 50 years to our traditions and many more!
BAR R ANGUS
BAR T BAR
A modest-sized, but top-tier Angus operation, Bar R Angus began in the show ring in 2000 and soon expanded to the commercial market. Today, after raising several top herd sires, donors and show heifers, Bar R reached a longtime goal in 2012 when they bred and raised the National Champion Angus Bull at the National Western Stock Show. Moving forward and expanding their genetics from coast-to-coast, Bar R’s breeding philosophy is to raise the best possible cattle phenotypically with a complementary EPD profile. At Bar R Angus, we strive to produce cattle that are accepted in any environment. We know structural correctness with powerful phenotype is crucial. Bulls are marketed each year through the Heritage Bull Sale in Wilton. Learn more about us at www.barrangus.com or give us a call. We’d love to show you our operation!
