Welcome!
It is with great excitement that our family welcomes you to another production sale for TK Angus! With the calendar turning over to 2025 we are excited to start the new year with a new event. This sale will mark our 42nd Production sale and we are happy to be bringing not only the bull product that we always strive to put forward, but also to be showcasing the fruits of some of our bull customers labors as well.
The heifer calves featured in this sale will represent some excellent replacement females from some of the top producers from the Sandhills of Nebraska. These heifers have been sorted stringently for quality and have been palpated by a veterinarian prior to the sale. The prep to make these heifers into an exceptional set of replacement females has all been done, and with the current cow herd numbers in this country as they are, they represent an excellent opportunity for return on investment.
The bulls for this sale were picked out early last fall and include a large selection of calving ease bulls, as well as some of the younger bulls from the calf crop representing the same sire groups that were popular in our December sale. The quality runs deep in the bull offering and we are excited to showcase these genetics to you. Joining us again in this sale will be Brad Arrowsmith, Arrowsmith Red Angus, bringing both Red and Black two-year-old bulls that have been developed slowly and are conditioned well for a long-lasting productive life for the customer.
We are excited to be holding this event at Valentine Livestock Auction, in conjunction with their regularly scheduled Feeder Cattle sale. The sale will start at 1pm cst with the bulls, followed by the heifer calves. The sale will be broadcast on DV Auction, and videos of the heifer calves will be available there prior to sale day.
Please feel free to give Tim, Rick, or Brad a call to discuss any of the offering prior to sale day, and we always welcome you to come out to the ranch ahead of time to view the bulls. We appreciate the opportunity to discuss which bulls would best fit the goals of your operation. We hope to see you all sale day!

Brad will be bringing an excellent bunch of coming 2-year-old Black and Red Angus bulls to the offering. Over the years, we have partnered on several herd sires with Brad, as he shares a similar philosophy and type when it comes to buying bulls, so the genetics that Brad will bring on the Black side will be very similar to our own.
