Angus & Charolais Bull & Female Sale
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2026
Selling 42 Angus and Charolais Bulls and 10 Angus Bred Heifers Massena Livestock Sales, Massena, IA · Lunch provided · Sale starts at 1pm
Dear Friends and Fellow Cattlemen and Women:
My family and I invite you to our Annual Bull Sale on Saturday, February 14, 2026 at Massena Livestock Sales, Massena, Iowa starting at 1:00 pm CST.
The cattle business is the one true bright spot in agriculture today. Record prices, cheap feedstuffs, and a good hay and grass growing season have all been very beneficial. The fundamentals have not changed. The national cowherd numbers are the lowest they’ve been since 1958. The rate of heifer retention is still low, pastures are still being plowed up, and farmers and ranchers are aging and selling their cows. The short story is that the cattle business should be good for some time. We really get excited and enjoy seeing our customers getting rewarded for their hard work by record prices. That is why we do what we do, and we are humbled to be a small part of your success.
Again this year, you will find a few bulls on the sale that are from our grandsons, Zach and Brady Steward. They have a keen interest in continuing the hard work and tradition of raising Angus and Charolais seedstock. We welcome their passion for agriculture and specifically, raising purebred cattle.

Directions to sale barn: At the intersection of Highways 92 and 148, continue south approximately 1/2 mile. Turn right onto Clark Ave. In 1/2 mile turn left onto Spruce St. and make your way to Massena Livestock Sales, 78 Main St., Massena, IA.
Terms: Terms of the sale are cash or check payable upon the conclusion of the sale and before the animals are removed. Cattle will sell under the standard terms and conditions as recommended by the American Angus Association.
Breeding Guarantee: Carstens Farms guarantees all bulls sold are fertile and sound breeders. If a bull is proven to not be a breeder he may be returned if healthy and in adequate condition. The buyer may select a suitable replacement or receive credit at the next sale for the purchase price minus the salvage value. At no time is Carstens Farms liable for more than the bull’s purchase price.
Food and Refreshments: Will be available sale day.
Trucking Arrangements: We believe that it is much better for you to take your bulls home sale day or shortly after. This allows the bulls to become acclimated to their new environment and new owners. A $150 per yearling bull deduction will be subtracted from the price of all bulls taken home on sale day.
Every year before A.I. season, we spend a lot of time studying pedigrees and EPD data of nationally-acclaimed bulls to determine which ones to use as potential sires. This year Saluda, Rise Above, Patriarch, Architect, Armstrong, WC Artillery and WC Silver Bullet have done quite well for Zach, Brady, and myself. The bulls selling in this sale once again exemplify the performance genetics that their pedigrees indicate they should possess, they are sound footed, and packed full of red meat and muscle. We do everything that we can to give you the information that you need to make the right selection for you, including all performance info, scrotal measuring and genomic testing.
We sure hope you can join our family on February 14 for a sandwich and a chance to talk cattle. We’ll make sure we have you home in time to take your sweetheart out for dinner. If you can’t make it to the sale, we encourage you to reach out to us for any additional information or let us know if there is anything that we can help you with. Remember, this is a small family operation where everyone gets to enjoy a little manure on their boots.
Thanks for your interest, Dean Carstens

Dean & Melodee Carstens 1709 Fallow Ave. Adair, IA
Bull Care: As a service to you, we will winter the yearling bulls not taken home sale day free of charge until May 1, 2026. After May 1, 2026, a $3.00 per day yardage fee will be charged unless you have made other arrangements with Dean. They will be semen checked and ready to be picked up by May 1, 2026. After the bulls are sold, they are your property and responsibility. We recommend mortality insurance for your bulls.
