Welcome to the 2026 Big Sky Elite Auction
The Big Sky Elite Auction brings together four of the most exciting Red Angus herds in North America. These four operations have placed 28 herd bulls into stud bull line ups thus far. From the elite genetics offered at the start of this auction to the last lots in the lineup, these Red Angus females will prove to be exceptional cows in the herds they land. Featured in the 2026 Big Sky Elite are 76 tremendous heifers bred to some of the industry’s leading Red Angus herd bulls. Whether you invest in these young breed-leading heifers, the highly productive three-year-olds, or proven mature cows, the opportunity ex- ists to crank out one of the breed’s next superstars. Not only are the members of the Big Sky Elite top cattlemen and women, they have also served as officers, directors, and board members on the Red Angus Association of America. They are dedicated to your success and stand behind their cattle. The 2026 beef industry has thrown a lot at us — from record cattle prices and Trump announcing beef imports to packing plant closures and high fuel costs, producers everywhere have had to navigate an ever-changing landscape. However, I think we all need to focus on what we can control – our own operations and the decisions we make in building and maintaining our cattle herds. The fact of the matter is the U.S. beef herd is the smallest it has been since the 1950s. In my travels, I see aging cows with very little heifer retention. I truly believe now is the time to invest in top Red Angus genetics to build your future herd. I will be in Three Forks Montana starting November 30th going through the offering, if I can be of any assistance in helping with your selections, don’t hesitate to give me a call. If you cannot make it to the auction, please feel free to call me, Heather, our buyer reps or the Big Sky breeders for representation of the cattle. You can also bid online through DVAuction and set the bid price at your own comfort level. If we can assist you or answer any questions, we’re only a phone call, text, or email away.
Best Regards, Kyle Gilchrist
