Ashbacher Angus

With living in a land of extremes, Ashbacher Angus selects cattle that offer predictable, efficient genetics, critical in maintaining our bottom line. For 30 years Ashbacher Angus has been striving to produce efficiency through structurally sound, very maternal, un-pampered, no nonsense cattle. With the quiet dispositions, low maintenance, and moderate framed cattle Ashbacher Angus produces, we believe our Red & Black Angus can bring quality improvements to your herd. Our operation is a forage based plan, low input cattle bred with maternal strengths in mind. Our cows need to calve on their own, raise the calf, and breed back within a 63 day period, all while dealing with the harshness of the Alberta landscape.

Breeding Program:
We have moved our program to sell only two-year olds. The bulls will now have a little more age and maturity on them. These bulls have been through a culling program as calves and again as yearlings and we believe you will find they are darn good. With our later calving schedule we don't sell any bulls till they're 2 yr olds. These have not been through any other sales or been picked over by buyers. 
With our program our bulls have never been pushed, we strive for longevity rather than condition. You will not find the biggest yearling weights on our bulls because they are fed just a maintenance ration through their first winter and allowed to grow on grass the next summer. Currently our bulls are on a silage ration and eight pounds of rolled barley.
