Sale

Welcome to our 51st Annual Performance sale to be held February 16, 2026, at Kist Livestock Auction, Mandan ND.

We would like to start by saying THANK YOU to all our past customers. Without your support and encouragement, we would not be able to continue our commitment to produce and market seedstock that excel in the economically relevant traits for the commercial cattle producers in this region.

2025 was a great year here at Tokach Angus Ranch. Abundant moisture provided us with ample grass, feed and record-setting cattle prices across all classes and weights of cattle through the summer and fall. Market projections indicate cattle prices will remain strong or even continue to rise over the next several years. This long-awaited financial return for cattlemen and women has renewed optimism and encouraged reinvestment in genetics and operations. Now is the time to capitalize on the long hours and short nights that make the cattle business so rewarding.

Our 2026 bull sale features an outstanding, consistent offering backed by measurable genetic progress. Weaning weights increased significantly this year partly due to favorable weather but primarily driven by our long-standing commitment to genetic improvement. We are proud to offer both new sire groups and proven favorites for our repeat customers.

Tokach bulls are structurally sound, moderate in condition, and designed to deliver low to moderate birth weights, strong weaning performance without creep feed or supplemental cow feed, rapid feedlot gains, and excellent carcass merit — ideal for grid marketing and Certified Angus Beef premiums. Bulls are developed to ensure longevity. After weaning, they are fed to allow them to express their genetic differences but not sacrificing long-term breedability.

The foundation of our program is the Tokach cow herd. For over 50 years, our females have proven to be hardworking, low-input cattle developed to thrive in large pastures with minimal supplementation. Poor disposition, feet, udders or fertility are never tolerated.

Our 2026 bred heifers represent a true cross-section of the 2024 heifer calf crop. They are deep-bodied, wide-based, easy-fleshing females that exemplify the signature Tokach Female look, with many bred to two of the industry’s most sought-after calving-ease sires.

All the registered cattle have been AngusGS tested to provide the most accurate and up-to-date genetic predictions the industry has to offer and ensure pedigree integrity. Videos of the sale offering will be posted on DVAuction just like they have in the past for your viewing and buying convenience.

Richard & Ben welcome phone calls on any of the sale offering. They see and feed the sale offering daily and know them better than anyone. They may be a bit biased, but they will be honest in their opinions. We also would encourage you to stop out at the ranch at any time to see the bulls and heifers in person and the environment they were raised in. The sale cattle have been handled the same as in the past. The cattle have not been creep fed and are currently on home-grown feed with a protein and mineral supplement. The bulls were weaned in early October and the bred heifers sorted off on December 1st. Birth weights are taken with a scale, weaning weights taken at weaning and yearling weights taken just in time for this catalog to go to press.

The cattle can be seen at Kist Livestock Auction in Mandan from February 14th until the sale.
