Namken Red Angus is located in the Coteau Hills of Northeastern South Dakota, approximately 20 miles south of Watertown, South Dakota. We strive to continually produce high quality, structurally sound, and functional bulls and females that are bred to be versatile and compliment any operation. In addition to our registered Red Angus herd, we also run a sizable Red Angus-based commercial cow herd on our ranch in northeastern South Dakota, the progeny of which are marketed as feeder calves. Red Angus were chosen for their strong maternal traits, docility, and for the functionality and durability of the breed.
We run approximately 250 Red Angus cows, with approximately 100 being registered. Namken Red Angus strives to continually produce high quality, structurally sound, bulls and females that are bred to be versatile and compliment any operation. Functionality is the cornerstone of our breeding philosophy. Namken Red Angus places a great deal of importance on sound feet, legs, and udders. We like cattle that are powerful, have extra rib capacity, and are easy fleshing.
We also dabble in making out cross genetics through Canadian genetics and the black Angus breed. By using these genetics, this gives us out cross and refreshing pedigrees to many popular bloodlines for our customers. In addition to our registered Red Angus herd, we also run a Red Angus-based commercial cow herd. The commercial calves and registered progeny that do not make it to the bull or replacement pen are finished on the farm for harvest. This gives us real data on performance, feed efficiency, and carcass quality.
Give us a call anytime to discuss cattle!
