cattle are guaranteed to be fertile and reproductively sound in accordance
with the recommendations of the American Angus Association. The bulls

Ellingson Angus 2015 Production Sale Catalog
Sight-Unseen Purchases
If you are unable to attend the sale, but wish to place a bid, call Chad Ellingson, Pat Maher, the auctioneer or any of the sale-day representatives.
We will handle your bid like you would if you were sitting in the stands
yourself. Your complete satisfaction is guaranteed. Our sale will also be
broadcast live on DVAuction, which also offers real-time and proxy bidding options. For information, contact Justin Dikoff at (605) 290-0635 or
jdikoff@dvauction.com.
Genetic Testing
All cattle in the sale that are suspect by pedigree for any known genetic
defects have been determined free by DNA testing. Lots 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11,
14, 22, 33, 46, 47, 48, 52, 68, 70, 75, 78, 79, 82, 87, 90, 113, 133, 175 and 176
have had the Zoetis 50K analysis.
Performance Data
The performance information, with the exception of the 365-day weights,
has been calculated through the Angus Herd Improvement Records
(AHIR) program of the American Angus Association. These are official
numbers from the organization’s Sire Summary (as of Dec. 19, 2014). At
the time of printing, most of the bulls didn’t fit the age parameters to process adjusted yearling weights through AHIR. Projected yearling weights
noted were calculated using the American Angus Association’s yearling
weight formula. There will be a supplement sheet available on sale day
with ultrasound data and scrotal measurements.
Health
Dr. Pat Bierman of Mandan Veterinary Clinic will be on hand to write
interstate health certificates for those requiring them. All cattle have had a
complete vaccination program.
Delivery
We are offering free delivery on all bulls within a 500-mile radius and to
Canadian points-of-entry on Canadian-purchased bulls. For bulls going
beyond 500 miles and for all females, we will help coordinate delivery to
get the cattle to you as economically as we can.
Feeding Arrangements
We are offering free keep on the bulls until April 1, after which time we
will start deliveries. If you decide to take your bull home within three
days of the sale, we will give you $100 off your bull. Free keep and free
delivery do not apply to the females in the sale.
Liability
The Chad and Julie Ellingson family assumes no liability for accidents or
injuries that occur on the sale premises.

Advance has quickly earned his spot as
one of the up-and-coming calving-ease sires in
the Angus breed. His ability to consistently sire
light-birthweight calves with excellent calf vigor
has made him one of the real rancher-friendly
young sires. He has been used with great results
on registered and commercial heifers.
He has extra width for a calving-ease sire.
This is compounded with flawless structure and
backed by a highly productive dam.
He is a perfect fit for our breeding objectives
and, therefore, is earning a significant role in our
breeding program.
We own Advance with
Lindskov-Thiel Ranch, Genex and
Koupal Angus.

Lot 1 offers a great outcross pedigree that will make him versatile to be used on more females. This moderate-framed Advance
son is wide based and steps down on a correct set of feet and
legs. He is backed by three generations of popular calving-ease
sires in Advance, Dimension and Aberdeen. He is the standout
EPD profile bull in the offering. We expect him to be a calvingease bull, yet sire plenty of pounds. His greatest asset, though,
may be the functional females he will produce. If you are looking for

We believe in the future of this bull, as he combines the
pedigree, genotype verification, performance and phenotypic
look to be a top-caliber sire. He has been a standout since
early summer. He is a wide-stanced bull with excellent scrotal
development, perfect structure and an ideal Angus head. His
2-year-old dam is an ideal-sized female from the established
Emblynette family. She is a structurally flawless cow that
combines elite production and longevity. His broody granddam
has produced two
top young females
in our herd. Stagecoach’s pedigree and
phenotype allow for
multiple mating
opportunities for
virgin heifers and
cows. He will be one
of the top calvingease prospects to sell
in 2015.
This Advance son is double-bred calving ease with Advance
and Scotsman giving him a headstart at becoming a superb
heifer bull. He is out of a moderate-framed Scotsman dam with
tremendous feet and udder quality. His grandmother was extremely productive, raising a calf at the top nearly every year.
His dam’s maternal brother was selected by Heinert Ranch
for $9,500 in our 2011 sale. If you’re looking to lighten your
worry and workload during calving, keep this bull in mind.

Here is the result of another Advance and Scotsman mating,
which has proven to be an excellent cross. This bull is backed
by four generations of calving-ease, maternal genetics with
Advance, Scotsman, Final Answer and Bushwacker in his
background. His dam is a unique, moderate-framed female.
This bull should be a sleep-all-night heifer bull and a smart
investment for calving season. His dam’s maternal sister was
a highlight of our 2012 sale, going to Triple Son Farms of Cut
Off, La. His dam’s maternal brother sold to Maher Ranch of
Timber Lake, S.D., last year.

Here is the largest outlined Advance son selling in this year’s
sale. You really have to appreciate this curvebender with a
birth ratio of 98 and a weaning ratio of 110. His large-framed
Identity dam is capacious and heavy milking. We expect Lot
5 to sire low-birthweight, high-vigor calves at birth that wean
off at the top of the crop. This bull will lighten your workload
during calving season and enhance payweight. He comes from
the renowned Emblynette cow family that has produced many
top bulls and females. His dam’s maternal brother is working
for Matthew Waltman of Forbes, N.D.

Here is a large-framed Advance son. Lot 6 is double-bred calving ease in Advance and Final Answer, which should make
him a sleep-all-night calvingease bull. This large-outlined
bull will inject extra skeletal
size to really stretch out his
calfcrops. His large-outlined,
capacious dam has an ideal
udder structure. She records
a nursing ratio of 3/108 and
a yearling ratio of 2/102. A

Here is another sleep-all-night heifer bull by the Genex sire
Koupal Advance. His 2-year-old dam is a moderate-framed
cow with excellent structure. Maternal brothers to the dam are
working for Lazy D Ranch of Williston, N.D., and Cody and
Amber Staiger of Hebron, N.D.
Here is a large-outlined bull with extra volume, base width
and a refreshing pedigree. His dam has a nursing ratio of
5/104. If you’re looking for a light-birthweight candidate with
extra performance, take a look here. Phil and Lisa Volk and
Dion and Michelle Ottmar own maternal brothers.
We remember four cattlemen who were laid to rest in 2014 and who will always have a special place in our hearts.
John S. Haider, 73, passed away Dec. 4, 2014, at
CHI St. Alexius Health in Bismarck, N.D. A Solen, N.D.,
native, John and his wife Judy ranched just down the
road from us. John’s life was ranching, and blue roan
horses and Angus cattle were his pride and joy. John
was an easy-going and hardworking man and was fun
to listen to, as he had a distinctive German accent. He
was a particularly special friend to our son, Jameson.
The pair spent many hours together talking about crops
and equipment.
Anton “Tony” Schaff, 84, passed away April 23,
2014, at his home in Mandan, N.D. Tony is Julie’s uncle.
Over his career, Tony served in the army, farmed and
ranched and worked as a salesman for Mandan Supply.
He also was an entrepreneur, starting his own homebuilding business and horse and stock trailer dealership. He was twice recognized as the Triggs Dealer of
the Year and designed a heavy-duty trailer line called
the Boss Trailer. He loved to visit and was a good landlord.
Thomas “Tom” Hudgins, 71, passed away Nov. 26,
2014, at his home in McEwen, Tenn., after an extended
illness. Tom was retired as the co-owner of the former
Alman Construction Company. After retirement, he
owned and operated T&S Farms, raising Angus and
Charolais cattle along with his wife Donna. Tom was a
customer and a friend. Our family had the privilege of
visiting the couple in August at their Canadian island
home. Tom treated our kids to many fishing excursions
and never complained when he had to untangle our
fishing lines or bait and rebait our hooks.
Richard M. “Dick” Tokach, 82, passed away Nov.
9, 2014, at Sanford Continuing Care Center off Sunset in
Mandan, N.D. Dick and his wife Theresa established Tokach Angus Ranch east of St. Anthony, just 5 miles from
us. Dick was a good neighbor, not to mention a steward
of the land, a caretaker of livestock and a man of integrity. He believed in public service and served many roles
– from state representative and county commissioner
to North Dakota Stockmen’s Association president and
North Dakota Beef Commission chairman – to make the
world a better place for others.

The Earnan progeny were extremely popular
in our 2014 production sale and many sales
across America.
His ability to inject extra performance into
his progeny is almost unmatched. If you are seeking bulls that will add payweight to your calfcrop
and that have excellent conversion in the feedlot,
then the Earnan sons will meet your objectives.
He ranks as one of the top $B bulls in the breed.
Judging by the Earnan bred heifers we have
and his top-producing dam, we
have great confidence in his maternal genetics too.

This is a long-bodied bull combining the performance sires
of Earnan and Curve Bender. This bull is long, thick topped,
wide based and one of the stoutest bulls in the sale. His dam is
a big-bodied Curve Bender daughter who has produced well.
Curve Bender daughters are consistently broody, heavymilking females with excellent foot structure. His granddam is
a maternal sister to the popular Abigale 6062 and sold in the
2008 State Select Sale to Taylor Cattle Company for $15,000.

Roughrider is the stoutest bull we ever produced. He is a
true dominator in muscle, width, depth and performance.
“Unique” best describes a bull of this caliber. He stands
extremely wide at his base and carries that through his chest
floor with extra vertical dimension through his rib cage to
flank. He has the potential to change the genetic excellence
of a herd in one generation. He brings the performance of his
renowned sire with the extra fleshing ability of his cow family
in an optimum frame score. He will sire calves that possess
extra muscle and scale-pounding performance and profitoriented females that keep ranchers in business. Roughrider’s
dam solidifies the confidence we have in this young herdsire.
She is featured as Lot 191, the half-interest female that we
will begin flushing with our new partner. She is a powerhouse
with the structural soundness that we strive to incorporate
into our breeding plan. Moreover, she records a birth ratio of
5/98, a nursing ratio of 5/109 and a yearling ratio of 2/102.
She is a maternal sister to the $30,000 Ellingson Dominance
purchased in 2013 by Genex, Sprunk Angus of Chaffee, N.D.,
and Carstens Farms of Adair, Iowa, and the $25,000 Ellingson
True Grit purchased in 2014 by Talkington Angus of Belfield,
N.D., and Meyer Ranch of Richardton, N.D. You won’t miss
this tank as you analyze the offering on sale day; he is a standout. He has the credentials for a very exciting career.

Substance dam has produced above and beyond

This Earnan son is a tank, displaying lots of thickness and
muscle over his top and through his hindquarter. Not only
is he extra stout, but he has extra depth through his forerib,
which should translate into efficient-foraging offspring. His
dam was one of the first Substance daughters born on our
ranch, and she has proven herself with a nursing ratio of
3/109. She is a big-middled, heavy-milking female with great
foot and leg structure. We expect Lot 12 to sire extra growth
into his steer calves and depth into his females. A maternal
brother by Territory sold in last year’s sale to Kelly Froelich of
Selfridge, N.D., for $7,750.
This is certainly one of the most solid, predictable bulls to be
offered in our sale, as he is backed by a proven performance
sire and productive dam. He is a wide-chested, heavy-muscled
individual that tracks out wide and free on the move. His
Bandwagon dam is a long-bodied, angular female. She records
a birth ratio of 4/100, a weaning ratio of 4/105 and a yearling
ratio of 3/105 and has bred A.I. every year in her production
career so far. Maternal brothers have been featured in many
of our past sales, selling to Kelly Froelich of Selfridge, N.D.,
Tyler Messner of Sheyenne, N.D., and High Valley Angus of

This is one of the top-performance bulls in the sale. He is a
long-bodied, wide-topped individual with extra base width. He
stands on extra substance of bone and moves freely
in his stride. Maybe the most impressive things
about him are the cows that stand behind him. His
dam is a moderate-framed Final Answer daughter
with a ton of volume and capacity and a nursing
ratio of 2/114. His Sitz Tradition granddam is the
mother of a former herdsire, Main Attraction, who
is now working for Rood Ranch in Canada. Lot 14
has a great set of numbers and proved himself well
at weaning this fall, turning in 905 pounds. He
ranked in the top 4 percent in the Angus breed for
weaning and yearling on his 50K genomic test. A
maternal sister is one of our favorite bred heifers.

This is a smooth-made bull that combines the two performance
sires known for injecting growth and size, Earnan and Pendleton. He will stretch calves out vertically and horizontally and
make them more profitable in the feedyard. Don’t count him
out as a potential calving-ease prospect for virgin heifers.

Arapahoe has the power to truly change the performance of
a cowherd in one generation. He will add the length, skeletal
growth and muscle that come from the combination of Earnan
and Territory. This bull posted an impressive weaning weight
and DNA genomic profile, ranking in the top 1 percent of the
breed for both weaning and yearling. His dam joined our donor program this spring and is currently producing embryos.
We sold an interest in her to Mohrfeld Angus of West Point,
Iowa. She records a nursing ratio of 3/105 and a yearling ratio
of 2/109. A full brother sold to Don Zimbleman of Fullerton,
N.D., for $19,000 in 2014 and was sampled in our cowherd
this past summer. A maternal brother by Substance is working
for Anderson Angus Ranch of Chaffee, N.D.
This Earnan son has been one of the top herdsire prospects in
the calfcrop since birth. His Territory dam is one of the best
up-and-coming females in our herd and has the potential
to be a feature donor cow one day. Lot 23 and his dam from
the proven Emblynette cow family were visitor favorites this
summer, as he possessed extra muscle and growth already at
a young age and his dam displays extra depth of body, base
width and udder quality. He will sire a nice balance of performance and maternal quality. A maternal sister by Ellingson
Identity 9104 is one of the best bred heifers in our replacement
heifer pen this year.

This is a long-bodied bull with lots of depth through his
middle. He will sire progeny balanced in maternal and performance traits. Density, his maternal grandsire, is known for
the feminine and broody cows he produced over his memorable
siring career.
This bull has a distinct herdbull look, displaying extra
stoutness and substance of bone. Even as a larger outlined
individual, he has the volume and capacity that is demanded to
produce functional brood cows. He will transmit performance
and growth to his calves.

This is a moderate-birthweight bull with explosive performance backed by a line of females second to none. He is large
outlined and has extra depth through his flank and forerib.
He combines two of the most sought-after bulls in the Angus
breed, Earnan and Net Worth. He would be a great choice for
increasing performance yet keeping birthweight in check.

Here is another result of the Earnan and EXT 6106 combination that brings a good overall balance to the table. His
10-year-old dam has a production record nothing short of
impressive. She has bred A.I. every year. Maternal brothers are
working for Reich Angus of Zap, N.D.; Muller Farms of Allen, Neb.; Prairie Diamond Ranch of Hebron, N.D.; and Hills
Valley Ranch of Manning, N.D.
Here is a big-middled Earnan son out of the same cow family
that produced the $80,000 Scotsman. His EXT 6106 dam is a
moderate-framed female with extra capacity and tremendous
feet. He offers a nice balance of all traits sought by progressive
cowmen. A maternal sister was the $10,000 pick of the heifers,
going to Werner Angus in 2008. His Pathfinder granddam
records a nursing ratio of 9/107. Maternal brothers are working for Ryan Ardery of Copeland, Kan., and Penhros Farms
of Britton, S.D. A maternal sister sold in 2013 to Tom and
Donna Hudgins of McEwen, Tenn., for $10,000.

Reservoir is a large-outlined Resource son that comes from
the renowned Emblynette cow family. He brings the same
muscle and thickness as his sire, but with a little more size and
skeletal growth. He will sire the big, rugged feeder calves that
are in demand in the feeding industry. His feminine dam has
a picture-perfect udder and is an efficient brood cow. She has a
fabulous production record, with a nursing ratio of 6/106. This
individual will not only sire a stout set of steer calves, but
produce a set of cows that can produce at a top level. Maternal
brothers have been features in past sales and are working
for Bill Streifel of Oberon, N.D., and Wilde Angus Ranch of
Shelvin, Minn. Another maternal brother sold to Diede Ranch
of Richardton, N.D., for $14,000 in our 2014 sale.
This is a rancher’s kind of bull, combining Resource, Bandwagon, Tradition, Traveler 8180 and Emulation 5522 – all of
which are cowmen-tested and approved. He has gone beyond
our expectations, excelling in performance, muscle and stoutness. He and his dam were embraced by many visitors this
summer as some of their favorites. He has continued his dominance at weaning this fall, earning a weaning ratio of 114.
His granddam is a full sister to the $16,500 Territory, who has
numerous productive daughters in our cowherd. We believe
this bull offers the same credentials of longevity, production
and performance that Territory excelled in. Maternal brothers
to the dam are working for Ray Bertsch of Ashley, N.D., and
Tim and Kathy Meyer of Richardton, N.D.

This bull is a full brother in blood to Lot 57 that combines
some excellent sires that hold a high reputation of producing
functional brood cows. This bull stands down on a big foot,
making him suitable to improve foot quality in a set of females.
Here is a wide-based bull that combines Resource, Net Worth,
Traveler 043 and Traveler 23-4. We anticipate he will be a
cow-producing machine that will transmit guts and butts to
his progeny. He has a square-made appearance and excellent
foot quality. A full brother in blood sells as Lot 56.

This bull fits the definition of the rancher’s kind with extra
base width and depth. He will sire the type of females bred to
survive and thrive on tough range conditions. He is doublebred Net Worth on his bottom side, making him the kind that
will put the extra pounds on his calves. The calves we love to
sell for our customers are sired by bulls like this. His large-outlined dam has been productive with a nursing ratio of 2/111. A
maternal brother sold to Lagge Farms of Garrison, N.D.
Many will pick this bull as their favorite in the Resource pen.
He has a great phenotype, standing wide at the base and carrying extra thickness across his top. His moderate frame and
abundant depth will make him a female producer. His dam
is the granddam to the $42,000 Ellingson Format 2205 that
sold to Alta Genetics in 2013. She has a birth ratio of 7/96, a
nursing ratio of 7/104, a yearling ratio of 6/101, an IMF ratio

Mytty In Focus, Lot 67’s maternal grandsire.
Last February, we welcomed Luciana Brochmann of Brazil into our family as she
completed a month-long internship and study-abroad experience here at Ellingson
Angus. Luciana is studying agronomy at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do
Sul and comes from a large registered and commercial Angus and Nelore operation
in Brazil, with secondary headquarters in Uruguay and
Paraguay.
Luciana was a trooper – working alongside the ranch
crew in the dead of winter to learn about the cattle industry. It was approximately 30-below on the day she arrived;
it was approximately 110 degrees when she left home!
This was a wonderful opportunity to learn about
one another’s beef industry and culture. Despite her best
attempts, she was unable to teach us Portuguese, though.
We decided that German-Russian tongues aren’t as acrobatic as Brazilian tongues!
Luciana will forever have a special place in our hearts.

Here is an

bull that
is the
rancher’s
type. This
soft-made,
big-bodied
bull is a
son of the
$30,000
Genex
CRI sire
Ellingson Dominance 2079. This bull is truly the cattleman’s
kind. Lot 68 may very well have the largest scrotal size of
any bull in the sale. This bull’s dam, EA Pride 346, was the
half-interest $26,000 selection of Sprunk Angus in our 2011
sale. She has been an extremely productive female on the ranch
and has served in our donor program for the last three years.
A maternal brother is the $28,000 Ellingson Boardwalk 3032
that sold in last year’s sale to Maher Ranch of Timber Lake,
S.D., and Wright Cattle Company of Richmond, Mo.

Here is one of the most unique calving-ease individuals in
the sale. He started out extremely small, with an actual
birthweight of 61 and a birth ratio of 76. His stylish and
smooth look make him have an attractive phenotype that will
be desired by many on sale day. His dam is a smaller framed
3-year-old Substance daughter with lots of depth and capacity
and tremendous feet and legs. He is triple-bred calving ease. A
maternal brother by Earnan sold in last year’s sale to Amstutz
Cattle Company of Bloomfield, Iowa. If you are in need of a
sleep-all-night heifer bull, he may be the best option in the sale.
This bull will make a tremendous female producer, as he
combines the powerful genetics of Territory, Max 602C and
Density all in his pedigree. Not only does he have the pedigree,
but he has the phenotypic appearance and sound structure demanded by progressive cattlemen and women. His moderateframed dam was an embryo transplant calf out of one of the
top and most powerful donors to ever walk the ranch. She is
becoming one of the prominent young females in our herd with
a current birth ratio of 2/95 and nursing ratio of 2/104. We
sold part of Lot 70’s granddam to Mohnen Angus.

This is one of the first individuals that will be offered out of
the performance sire Ellingson Dominance 2079, whose future
we are truly excited about. Lot 71 has a stunning profile. He
is the type that will give an extra boost of performance to a
set of feeder calves and leave a feminine, broody set of cows at
the end of the day. His mother is definitely one of our favorite
females, and she always has one near the top every year with
a nursing ratio of 5/103 to verify her production capability.
His granddam deserves mention as well, remaining productive up until 16 years of age. Lot 71’s maternal brothers are
working for Lee and Matthew Miller of Glen Ullin, N.D., and
Mackenzie Kukla of Killdeer, N.D. A broody maternal sister
by Substance is one of the best upcoming cows in our entire

daughters are showing tremendous promise by
already producing many standout progeny.

often found, in many sires.

This is a larger framed Identity son that is suitable for heifers.
He will surely give that extra boost of growth and bend the
curve needed in calves out of first-calf heifers.
This is a smooth-made bull that is triple-bred calving ease with
Identity, Final Answer and In Focus in his pedigree. Maternal
brothers are working for Lee Miller and Tim Meyer.

Ellingson Lariat 4011 is one of the most impressive Identity
sons that we have ever raised. This bull puts it together well
phenotypically, as a big-middled, wide-based, long-strided
powerhouse of a bull. He started out at a disadvantage, born
as a twin and nursing his mother along with his twin brother,
Lot 91, for quite a while. Even then, Lot 90 defied the odds and
is one of the top bulls in the 2014 calfcrop and in this year’s
offering. The line of females that backs him up is second to
none, with many of them earning Pathfinder status from the
American Angus Association. His Territory dam and Net
Worth granddam may be the two stoutest cows that walk the
ranch. They also display excellent udders and have the foot
and leg structure required to be functional, profitable females.
His great-granddam was an extremely productive cow that
produced many top sons, including the $14,000 Lund’s B
Bar Angus sire Ellingson Superior 0031, and left behind six
productive daughters in our herd. Lot 90’s dam’s maternal
brothers are working for Todd and Carmel Miller of Carson,
N.D., and Heinert Ranch of Solen, N.D.

Lot 93 is a more performance-oriented Identity son backed
by a cow that knows how to transmit growth to her calves.
He stands down on lots of substance of bone and is heavy
muscled. His maternal brother was the lead-off bull in last
year’s sale, going to Diamond J Angus and Alta Genetics for
$35,000. Lot 93’s dam is a beautifully uddered, feminine cow
with great feet and legs. She posted a nursing ratio of 2/111,
a yearling ratio of 1/109, an IMF ratio of 1/146 and a ribeye
ratio of 1/107. If you are in the market for an outcross performance bull that is sure to stretch out a set of calves, this may
be the perfect bull for you.

stretch. We expect him to transmit added pounds to his

light-birthweight calves with explosive performance at weaning and yearling.

Substance has made his mark on the beef
industry with his superior siring ability and
refreshing pedigree. This is the fifth consecutive
year we have sold sons of Substance.
We have numerous daughters in production,
and they are making a lasting impact, combining the antagonistic traits of fleshing ease and
excellent milking ability. We have more than 50
daughters in production, and they are consistently top-end producers.
We have mated Substance to many bloodlines and have found him to be a potent sire with

Secretary offers refreshing calving-ease
genetics. His calves are born small, then develop
into cattle with width and depth.
His progeny will be excellent forage converters with their extra volume and fleshing ability.
We have used Secretary on many registered
and commercial virgin heifers.
Secretary’s dam is a top-indexing female,
combining a light birth ratio of 96 with a weaning index of 107 on three calves. She is feminine
and has extra rib dimension and a flawless

This is one of the standout embryo transplant and performance
bulls in this year’s calfcrop. He is a larger outlined bull with
extra thickness across his top and lots of muscle from front
to rear. He is sure to stretch out a set of calves. The Tradition
sons have a reputation for injecting extra growth and stoutness and structural integrity into their calves and leaving
feminine, broody females that work for cowmen. His dam
is from the famous Evergreen cow family. We have retained
many full and maternal sisters to Lot 132.
This is a big-middled bull with as much depth as you will find.
He has superb feet and legs and is sound when he gets out on
the move. He is out of the proven calving-ease sire Birthstone.
He comes from a low-birthweight cow family, making him
even more reliable for virgin heifers. His dam is an extremely
docile, heavy-milking female with great foot structure and
fleshing ability. She is an accountable female, recording a birth
ratio of 3/93 and a nursing ratio of 3/105. A maternal sister
sold to Matt and Ashley Leavitt of Mohall, N.D., in 2013.

This is a large-outlined and long-bodied Traveler 5556 son out
of a Pathfinder Evergreen cow that left her mark on the Angus
breed. Lot 134 combines the Everelda Entense and Evergreen
cow families, giving him a maternal edge. He will add size and
skeletal growth to his calves.
This is a thick-topped, deep-bodied bull that is the cowboy’s
kind. He combines the maternal sires of Traveler 5556, Traveler 23-4, Traveler 044 and Rainmaker 340 all in one pedigree.
He will sire progeny that can flourish in the Northern Plains
and achieve in the feedlot and on the rail.

Sitz Right Answer 506Y is a bull we
selected from Sitz Angus in Montana in 2012.
He is siring ranch-adaptable progeny with
extra capacity and performance.
His dam is a top-producing female in the
Sitz herd with superior udder structure. His
daughters possess additional girth and are ideal
sized. They have the proven lineage of Final
Answer, Right Time 338, Onward and Great
Plains to be long-term, profitable cows.
Right Answer’s first progeny to sell at
auction highlighted the Brooking Angus sale in
Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2013.

same qualities that made Plateau a standout amongst his
peers. This bull combines the maternal qualities of Territory,
Bandwagon, Alliance 6595 and EXT into a one-of-a-kind

a heavy-muscled individual with lots of volume and capacity

self-maintaining thrivers. Plateau and Cincha are both known
for injecting capacity into their progeny, and this is evident
when you analyze this bull. His dam stayed productive until
age 12 and brought one of the heaviest calves home each fall.

She possesses a perfect Angus female look with her combination of angularity, volume and structural correctness. She is
from the renowned Madame Pride cow family that has proven
itself for
exceptional
functionality and

Her powerful dam is a
big-bodied,

cow that
maintains
excellent
condition
throughout
the year.
Her dam has a birth ratio of 3/96, a nursing ratio of 3/107, a
yearling ratio of 2/102 and an IMF ratio of 2/124. Lot 175 is a
maternal sister to the Accelerated Genetics sire Ellingson Secretary 2011, who sold in 2013 to Blue Ridge Cattle Company
and Griffith Angus for $30,000. Secretary is gaining popularity for his calving-ease and maternal excellence. Another

This is the stoutest female in the heifer offering. She ranks as
one of the best females to leave our program. Her overpowering phenotype has caught the attention of many astute cattle
ranchers. She is a deep-middled, soft-made female with lots of
width at her base and top. There is no doubt she has the look
and lineage to produce progeny that perform at a high level.
You can’t go wrong here, as her dam is the proven dam of
Ellingson Format 2205, the top-selling bull of our 2013 sale,
going to Alta Genetics for $42,000. One-half interest in her
dam was purchased by Mohrfeld Angus in Iowa, who is now

be in a donor pen herself.

This big-middled Identity daughter is destined to be a productive female. Her 2-year-old dam is a wide-based, thick-made
daughter of Blackcap Revolution who left many productive
daughters for us and many high-performance sons for our
customers. The Identity daughters are heavy-milking, deepflanked females that have brought some of the heaviest calves
home in the fall. Lot 180 combines the maternal-producing
sires of Identity, Blackcap Revolution and Tradition in her lineage. A maternal brother to her dam sold to Sumption Farms
of Frederick, S.D., for $9,000 in 2009.
Lot 181 is an angular daughter of the $42,000 top-selling bull
in our 2013 sale, Ellingson Format 2205, that went to the
Alta Genetics bull stud. Lot 181 brings a good combination
of moderate birthweights in the mating of Format and Final
Answer in her pedigree. Her maternal brother was one of our

of Timber Lake, S.D., for the family’s herdbull battery.

We have selected one of the very top females in our herd to
offer for sale again this year. We are selling half interest in
this female that we plan to make an even larger part of our
program by making her a donor female. EA Blacklass 8914 is
an impressive cow. She is a structurally superior individual
that possesses width, body and power. She posted a standout
5/98 birthweight ratio and a 5/109 weaning ratio. Her son,
Ellingson Roughrider 4202, is one of the top young sire
prospects that we have raised and is selling as Lot 10 in the
sale. Lot 191 is ultrasounded to have a heifer calf sired by the
$50,000 Ellingson Commanche 3119. The new owner will
own half of the calf she is carrying, which will allow for an immediate return on investment. Lot 191 is the daughter of SAV
Blacklass 374, one of the very top-producing females in our
program. Blacklass 374 has earned impressive progeny ratios
of 9/103 for weaning, 5/108 for yearling, 6/115 for IMF and
6/106 for ribeye. 374 is the dam of Ellingson Dominance 2079,
who sold for $30,000 to Genex, Sprunk Angus and Carstens
Farms in 2013. She also produced Ellingson True Grit 3181,
who was selected by Talkington Angus and Meyer Ranch
for $25,000 last year. The breeders that have invested in our
featured half-interest females in the past have recognized these
offerings as special opportunities. This could be your chance
to own one of the top females from a time-honored and proven
500-head cowherd.

Ellingson Angus – A Family Operation
Committed to Performance!
It’s a pleasure to be working with the Ellingson family and welcoming ranchers throughout the country to their 2015 Real-World
Genetics Sale. Without question, this is one of the premier Angus programs in the world, backed by a family that is committed to
seeing their customers succeed at the highest degree.
Visitors from around the globe make their way to St. Anthony, N.D., to go through the Ellingson cowherd, as this program has
become synonymous with quality and performance. For those who have never had the opportunity to do so, put a trip to Ellingson Angus on your
bucket list so that you too can see firsthand how these genetics perform and, ultimately, can add value to your bottomline. When you invest in genetics carrying the
Ellingson prefix, it’s more than an investment in genetics, it’s an investment in a relationship with people that will be there for you.
Whether you are a commercial or purebred breeder, I am confident you will find bulls in this offering that will be as powerful and as expressive in their performance as any
bulls selling in 2015. There’s no question that this is the most impressive set of bulls to sell in the history of Ellingson Angus. You will find bulls packed full of red meat, that
offer extra rib and body shape for ease of fleshing and that are structurally sound. Ultimately, these are genetics that will sire extra pounds at weaning and add quality to
any program. I had the opportunity to go through many of the bulls just prior to weaning and to see them in large pastures with their mothers. I can assure you that they’ve
been raised in the real world and are backed by some of the most impressive females the breed has to offer. As always, there will be large sire groups represented with
several bulls that offer the look, proven performance and pedigree power to make them big-time herdsires in any prominent program. Of special note, there will be a large
number of bulls selling by Connealy Earnan 076E, along with an impressive set of bulls by the calving-ease and growth sire Koupal Advance 28, Ellingson Identity 9104,
Ellingson Secretary, Resource and other proven performance sires.
A special highlight in 2015 will be the chance to select from one of the most impressive sets of females to ever sell at Ellingson Angus, including 20 fancy heifer calves
and 10 select spring-bred heifers. In addition, the dam of Ellingson Roughrider 4202, EA Blacklass 8914, will also be selling. She is one of the most impressive females
in the Ellingson program and has proven herself quite well, leaving little doubt she’ll be an impact donor in any program. Also highlighting the female division will be a
maternal sister to Ellingson Secretary 2011 sired by Koupal Advance 28 and a powerful Connealy Earnan 076E daughter from the same dam as the Alta Genetics $42,000
Ellingson Format 2205. The quality in the female division runs as deep as the quality in the bull division.
Again, I invite you to attend the Ellingson Angus Sale and see firsthand just how Ellingson genetics can work for you and how your investment in the program will earn you
some of the best customer service found in the business. If I can provide any assistance in discussing these genetics, please give me a call at (918) 510-3464. ~ Rance Long
