74 Years
of Total Commitment to breeding quality Angus cattle!
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to fulfill our family dream of enjoying 74 years of raising Angus. We value our friends, customers, partners and cattle enthusiasts who have made this possible!
WELCOME TO TC RANCH!
Dear Fellow Cattle Producers,
Welcome to the 50th Annual TC Ranch Bull Sale!!!! I’d like to tell you stories of our first bull sale, it was, of course, before my time. However, in my short time, the amount of data and information being put forth has become enormous and can seem endless. I want to assure you that here at TC Ranch we work tirelessly to focus on traits, information, and data for profitability and longevity. We know that your success determines our own and it would be a privilege to talk and discuss marketing plans for your operation so we can put stronger emphasis on the data that will put the most profit in your operation.
I am extremely excited to offer these outstanding bulls and a deep cut into our replacement heifers for your consideration. As always, these cattle have been developed on a high roughage ration to show differences, not hide problems. With record prices and times ahead of us in the cattle business, do yourself a favor, your customers a favor, and the beef industry a favor by putting TC cattle to work for you. It will be the best return on money you’ve ever spent.
Please feel free to stop by the ranch at any time to view the herd. If you have any questions, you can always contact me. I am more than willing to discuss and offer my opinion on what bull might best fit your program the best. If you are unable to
attend our sale, we have several options to aid in your purchase. Our sight unseen guarantee is second to none as it simply states if the bull isn’t exactly as I led you to believe, you do not own him. No questions asked.
Thank you for considering TC Ranch as your genetic provider. There are many choices these days, but few have made their sole living for generations as seed stock providers, and it is an honor that we do not take lightly. Please join us February 28 as our commitment to quality Angus cattle has never been higher.

HERD HEALTH The bulls in the sale have been prewean and weaning vaccinated for respiratory disease, including pasteurella. They were poured and dewormed twice, the past one in January. The bulls are scrotal measured and have been semen evaluated. Nebraska is now Brucellosis free and accredited TB free which greatly facilitates interstate movement of cattle.

Breeding season is defined as the 90-day period following the first turnout of the bulls. If a replacement bull is available, he will be provided; or if the buyer prefers, credit toward one bull will be given in the following year’s sale, less salvage value of the injured bull.
