About Us
The vision of this operation began with Marvin and Arlene Large in the late 1960’s. Marvin’s passion was cattle, good cattle. While raising their 5 children on the ranch, they experimented with many breeds of cattle and eventually settled on the Simmental breed. He loved the easy feeding and docility of these cattle as well as the ability to adapt to the environment.
Jeremey & Amy Gittlein
Marvin found success in crossbreeding Simmental cattle with the Angus breed to maximize his profits finishing his own cattle in the feedlot. He was proud to market a finished product to the packers at 13 months of age and was able to gain added premium on those carcasses. Today, the 400 head of SimAngus cattle operation is a result of the AI process that began here in the 70’s. The bull calves offered each year have been carefully selected based on performance, docility, and their outstanding phenotype. The mammas of these bulls have produced multiple offerings in our sales over the years, showing the longevity that has been bred into them. With the passing of Marvin in 2022; his children Kevin, Dean, Dale, Regina, and daughter in law Myra have continued the administrative part of Larges Farms. Ranch manager Jeremey Gittlein, runs the ranch while continuing the custom feeding and heifer development program that has diversified the operation throughout the years. Jeremey has been employed as ranch manger since 1994. His management decisions have led to the growth of the 400 head operation, while continuing the vision Marvin put in place many years ago. Jeremey and his wife Amy have been involved with the behind the scenes of every bull sale the last 28 years. During those 28 years, the couple has raised three children who are actively involved in the operation as well. Welcome to our home, we are happy to host you at this year’s sale!
