Welcome to the Fred Ranch Angus and Charolais Bull Sale. We appreciate the opportunity to showcase this bull offering. Thank you for your interest in our program and our annual production sale.

We at Fred Ranch have witnessed our registered genetics selling to many different herds over the 42 years of raising registered cattle. Many have been long time repeat customers, knowing that it’s not the fluff that works but the dedication to raise great genetic cattle in both breeds. Jamie’s family was the first Charolais breeders in Nebraska in 1957 and our Angus cattle journey began in 1976.

These great disposition cattle are from an excellent AI program. In the Charolais breed the Fred Ranch raised an ET bull that was a potential breeder for 10 years who sired a son in 2008 that was raised by a South Dakota seed stalk breeder that was the top weaning and yearling sire in the fall 2012 and spring 2013 sire summary. This bull showed negative birth weight EPD- very unusual of the bulls in the summary. These pedigrees trickled back to the bloodlines in 1957. We have found patience and dedication of long term breeding pays off! Check out the ET lots that display this in the Angus bulls also!

Join us for rolls and coffee mid morning to view the bulls early. If that won’t work for you, call in the days prior and we will be glad to show you the bulls at your convenience. These bulls are free from genetic defects, and semen evaluated. Ultrasound is done by Sandhills Ultrasound. This and other information will be available sale day.

We are looking forward to seeing you sale day. If we can answer any questions before the sale, please give us a call. 402-273-4236 (Ranch) or 402-273-4000 (Home).

Again thank you for your interest.

the truly superior sires we would like to advance our programs and provide a better product for our customers will not be indentified until their progeny records increase their predictability. If we want semen on any bull selling in the sale, semen for our use would be collected in the off-breeding season at your convenience and at our expense. If you decide to collect semen for your account, the semen is 100% yours.

The number of bulls on which semen is sold is relatively small, but in the event semen sales develop on any bull Fred Ranch and the owner will share equally in those revenues and expenses. If the buyer sells or leases any of his/her ownership in a bull, Fred Ranch retains its revenue sharing semen interest in the bull.
