It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our 2026 bull sale. This year marks 112 years of Baumgartens raising registered Herefords, this is our 23rd annual production sale. Cattle prices continue to be very profitable which is great to see such a bright future. Now more than ever is the time to invest in high quality cattle and predictable genetics to build back cow herds.

Like most ranchers in our area, we had a very good summer with plenty of rain. Our grass was abundant and our hay crop plentiful.

We are very blessed to have five children on our place between the age of one and eight. They all love the farm and ranch life. Enjoying everything from checking crops and cows to cutting net wrap off the bales.

Structural soundness, performance and balance are our top priorities. We want these bulls to sire vigorous calves at birth and wean big, heavy calves. We want them to leave you with cows that are functional, broody and milky while maintaining correct body condition without being pampered. We believe bulls with high quality maternal traits that are backed by good cows are more profitable to build your herd. This year’s offering will be as deep in quality as ever. Bulls were cut due to high birth weights and inadequate performance. We feel every animal in the sale has more than adequate structural soundness. If they’re borderline in this quality, they are cut. We are proud and humbled with our genetic standard.

Thank you for considering our cattle and we invite you to come tour our cow herd and bulls any time of year. Please contact us with any questions. Our main focus is for you to feel comfortable and confident with your purchase. Remember the fastest and cheapest way to add pounds is crossbreeding and the Baldy cow is the most profitable cow!
