What a beautiful day in Umapine, Oregon for a bull sale! The rain gave us a break for the day and although it was muddy, we stayed dry. It is always such a humbling experience to see our customers return for another year of bull selections and we have also been very excited to see a lot of new faces in the last few years! Kessler Angus was started with a single Angus heifer and a dream in 1961 and 64 years later we are completely immersed in the Angus breed dedicating our life to a cowherd that knows how to work to earn their keep. The second generation works alongside Randy in the day-to-day and his grandsons are now starting to leave tiny footprints around the ranch, life is so so sweet out here. We are so thankful to those of you who choose to make Kessler Angus your bull source and put our genetics to work in your herds.
