JC HEIKEN ANGUS & SONS 19TH ANNUAL SALE
Welcome to the JC Heiken and Sons 19th Annual Production Sale. There are families, and then there’s the Heiken family. Joe, John, Brian, and Ben share many family traits, but none is stronger than their shared passion for Angus cattle. From breeding, calving, and weaning to marketing the bulls, this family is truly all in. What sets these gentlemen apart is their desire to build a legendary cow herd. If I heard it once from Joe, I’ve heard it a hundred times:“Why would you use a sire that you wouldn’t want one hundred daughters out of?” Sage advice from the senior member of this incredible team. Maternal excellence reigns supreme at the Heiken operation, and if you ever get the chance on a summer day to visit the Heikens at their summer range and see this cow herd in its entirety, you’ll be glad you took the time. This year’s sale comes at an unprecedented time in the beef cattle industry, where new highs seem to be the norm rather than the exception. One thing is clear—there is a window of opportunity to capitalize on this tremendous market, and it starts with high-quality bulls.While bull prices are trending higher, that cost is offset by strong calf and cull cattle prices. In fact, the number of steer calves it takes to purchase a registered Angus bull is lower than it has been in recent years. Load up on quality genetics and enjoy the long-overdue ride. Last, but certainly not least, the Heiken family is bringing to town an exceptional set of heifer calves straight out of the replacement pen.These are not meant to be traded—they are meant to be treasured.These are the kind you build a cow herd around.
If I can do anything for you prior to the sale, or if you need assistance on sale day, please do not hesitate to call.
