Welcome Friends, It is with great excitement we invite you to view the 2026 “Hand-Picked for the Future” Online Elite Angus Female Sale. We believe this is the best set of heifers we have ever offered from paper to the pens. This is also a unique opportunity to own any spring-born heifer you choose since we now calve exclusively in the fall and won’t retain any for ourselves. This deep set of females is the product of more than 20 years of focusing on the female. We’ve walked many miles in our cus- tomers’ shoes, and ultimately, we are aiming to produce cattle that are functional, efficient and profitable. Females are the foundation of success at the Jones Ranch, and our mating decisions reflect that. While our genetics are highly competitive in terms of payweight, quality grade and feed efficiency, we only realize those ben- efits after the cows have gotten pregnant, calved unassisted, raised a valuable calf and rebred to do it all again in 365 days. To that end, we have been enrolled in the American Angus Association’s Maternal Plus program since its inception. We feel con- fident these genetics will not only make our customers money in the short-term, but offer genetics to build a program around that will last for years to come. As in our previous sales, online bidding will be available through DV Auction, and you are welcome to call any of the buyer rep- resentatives listed on page 3, if you have questions or need someone to look at these females on your behalf.
The sale will feature a racehorse style close, and bidding will be extended for 5 minutes to ensure everyone has the opportunity to own the female of their choice. Since this is an online sale, we won’t have any type of organized gathering at Jones Ranch on sale day. Even so, you may come by on sale day to view the cattle, or any day before, just be sure to call ahead to ensure we’re here. The coffee pot is always on, and we love to show our cattle to visitors and talk about Angus genetics. Brad and Charlotte Jones

Note: American Angus EPDs for all sale lots were pulled on 2/3/26. Functional Longevity (FL) predicts differences in the number of calves produced by 6 years of age, with a higher EPD meaning that on average sires’ daughters are predicted to produce more calves by 6 years of age, compared to a lower EPD. breeders should focus on differences between animals as seen in percentile ranks.
