Frey Angus Ranch :: The Program

At the Frey Angus Ranch, you have three cattlemen riding herd on your investment. Your investment represents nearly 70 years of breeding and selection for cattle that are acceptable in size, correct in structure, sound in their movement and functional on the range, in the feedlot, and desirable as the end product to the consumer. Cattle that calve easy, breed back quickly, milk and grow. They do it consistently and in a superior manner. Our records show it, our cattle prove it and we guarantee it. Count on these bulls to make a difference in your operations profit. We intend to see to it that our cattle make a difference in your program. You deserve nothing less.

At the Frey Angus Ranch, the cattle are measured for profit.

Profit is a live calf at birth
Profit is a good milking, sound uddered cow that breeds back quickly and weans a heavy calf every year
Profit is a carcass of high value and quality
Profit is eventually determined by herd sire selections

Here you will be able to select from value added bulls where profit and quality are stressed right down to the last bull to sell. The bulls offered will have a strong maternal influence of FAR Krugerrand 410H, the 2002 National Western Champion Bull bred by Frey Angus Ranch. Many of his daughters and grand-daughters will have produced sons by some of the most prominent herd sires of the breed; 44 FAITHFUL 2764, FREYS HOMETOWN BELIEVER, MOGCK WALKS ON WATER, FAR RESILIENT 3001, FAR RESILIENT 3002, CONNEALY COMMERCE, CONNEALY CRAFTMAN, KR ULTRA 2199,EVENSON BLACK GRANITE 2219, FREYS ROOSTER, PF WHITEWATER 303, NELSONS GROWTH MARKET, DIAMOND J SQUARED UP and others.

At Frey Angus Ranch, the program is a simple one. It is a program where performance testing breeds perform and where the cowherd makes a difference. Each cow has to make a difference and that difference is measured in the average results in the bulls selling. The average birth weights are at or near breed average of 77#, average weaning weights of 813#, and average yearling weights of 1346#. These are fertile, mature and active bulls with balanced EPD’s and exceptional individual performance that also includes carcass information determined by ultrasound. These bulls will be delivered to your ranch after April 1st at no charge with an unconditional guarantee for injury through the first breeding season. Most importantly, these bulls will work because they are bred and developed to do so. They are the kind that makes a difference!
