Mike Sitz Angus Ranch | Angus Century (2023)

Описание: Starting in 1923, grandfather, William August Sitz and his wife Frieda purchased registered Angus cows from William Williams of Clarks, Nebraska. When those heifers calved the bull calves were traded back to William Williams for more heifer calves and thus began the expansion of the Sitz Angus herd. Mike and Debra Cook, a cattle feeder’s daughter, were married in 1975. The young couple struggled and survived through the 1980s, unable to purchase a single candy bar for years.

Throughout the financial hardship, Mike continued to AI, performance test, and register calves. Advised by their banker to either crossbreed their registered herd to Charolais bulls or move to town and get a job, Mike stood strong on his belief that there was profitability right around the corner. Unwavering optimism and a calm approach – how to survive 100 years. The 1920s cow lines live on strong today as their daughter Bethany, and her husband Joel, plan to keep the operation going for generations to come.
