Angus & Charolais Bull Sale S ATUR D AY, FE BRU A RY 8, 2 0 2 5

Selling 33 Angus and Charolais Bulls 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 8, 2025 at Massena Livestock Sales, Massena, Iowa starting at 1:00 pm CST. What a great time to be in the cattle business! With feed prices retracting, the cattle industry is certainly the bright spot in agriculture today and should be for awhile. We hope everyone gets to share in the profits from this record market. We really enjoy seeing our customers rewarded for their hard work. 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 the herds of our daughter’s family and our grandson, Zach Steward. Zach has a keen interest in continuing the hard work and tradition of raising Angus and Charolais seedstock.

We welcome his passion for agriculture and specifically, raising purebred cattle.

Every year before A.I. season, we spend a lot of time studying pedigrees and EPD data of nationally-acclaimed bulls to CONSULTANTS: Mark Venteicher: 712-779-0169 Al Venteicher: 712-779-0168 Sale Barn: 712-779-3636

SALE DAY CONTACTS: Dean Carstens: 641-745-5884 Zach Steward: 515-423-8639 Kyle Carstens: 641-745-0952

AUCTIONEER: Mark Venteicher 712-779-0169 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.

determine which ones to use as potential sires. This year Conneally Commerce, Patriarch, Baldridge’s Gibson, Kramers’ Rebound, WDZ Kingsman and WDZ Warroad have done quite well for Zach 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 8 for a sandwich and a chance to talk cattle. If not, 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
