Intentional Prep for Spring Sale

As spring approaches, the work behind the scenes at Baalman Angus Genetics only intensifies. Preparing for a production sale isn’t something that starts weeks before sale day — it’s the result of years of intentional decisions, daily management, and honest evaluation.

As a first-generation Angus operation, owned and built by Coby Baalman, we approach sale preparation with one priority in mind: offering cattle we would confidently put to work in our own program.

It Starts Long Before Spring

Long before sale day is circled on the calendar, cattle are being evaluated for structure, soundness, disposition, and performance. Only those that meet our expectations remain in the program. Cattle that don’t work, regardless of pedigree or numbers, are not carried forward.

Data plays a critical role in our selection process. Performance records and EPDs help guide decisions, but they’re never the final answer. Cattle still have to prove themselves in real-world conditions, raising calves, traveling pastures, and staying productive year after year.

Daily Work, Honest Evaluation

As spring nears, we increase hands-on evaluation. Bulls are closely monitored for soundness and development, while females are expected to continue doing what they’ve always done, work. Feet, legs, body condition, and overall functionality are non-negotiable.

Because our program has been built over more than ten years, we’ve learned that consistency matters more than shortcuts. Sale cattle represent the standards we’ve held ourselves to from day one.

Transparency Matters

Preparing for a production sale isn’t about creating a perfect picture, it’s about presenting cattle honestly. We believe buyers deserve to know exactly what they’re getting and how those cattle have been developed. That’s why we focus on cattle raised in real conditions, managed with integrity, and backed by reliable data.

Looking Ahead to Spring

Our upcoming Spring Production Sale marks an important milestone for our program. It reflects years of commitment, learning, and belief in building Angus genetics the right way. Whether you’re a long-time customer or considering our program for the first time, we invite you to follow along as we continue preparing cattle we’re proud to stand behind.

For us, sale day isn’t the finish line, it’s simply the next step in a program built for the long haul.
