Comments From the Sale Manger: A Family Tradition
Plan now to be on hand Tuesday February 3rd, 2026 for this tremendous offering of both bulls and females which are the finest genetics ever offered by the Babcock family. Carrying forward a family tradition of raising registered Angus and ranch- ing in Nebraska, the Babcock family have deep roots in the region where their valued customers have enjoyed record-break- ing market success with Babcock genetics. This sale features super sought and elite spring yearling bulls, an excellent selection of fall yearling bulls and strong age-coming two-year-old bulls that will sell along with a very special featured donor cow and select yearling open heifers, many of which are products of the embryo program. These industry-driving genetics answer the call for the basics of com- bining calving-ease with performance and maternal function. With unbridled optimism in market demand for quality Angus genetics, it is more important than ever to select the very best to soar to the forefront of market opportunity and long term herd improvement. Please don’t hesitate to call on us at American Angus Hall of Fame if we can be of assistance with your selection decisions. We are here to serve. Sincerely, Tom Burke Kurt Schaff Alex Popplewell (816) 853-2697 (816) 520-6447 (270) 566-8822
