Swanson Cattle Company

Swanson Cattle Company Our promise to you is, “NO BULL”, just the REAL DEAL. We are a Nebraska family-owned business with three generations of farming and ranching experience.

Selling 100 head of bulls each year right in our back yard. Swanson Cattle specializes in raising Balancer and Angus cattle for Nearly 40 years and having a yearly sale right in our back yard, selling over 100 head of bulls. We have been in the Gelbvieh breed since 1984. Then later started raising balancers going back to before they were called balancers. We have fed 40 plus pens of raised cattle

over the years. The cattle normally gain from 3.5 to 4.0 pounds a day, yield from 64 to over 65%. We have pens grading from 90 to 100% choice or better, conversions as low as 5.10. Last year we had a pen command a $149 a head premium. Our cows are strictly culled for disposition, feet, and udders. These females also have a lot of carcass merit, maternal instincts, performance with a lot of calving ease. We are excited about the Howard 101H and the RIP 172G sire groups. These cattle pass on muscle, fleshing ability, soundness in a complete package. These bulls will sire top notch feeder calves and excellent replacement heifers with a program behind them. The bulls are developed on a ration to grow them towards their potential. This drought has made it difficult and we appreciate our loyal customers and friendships. With the recent moisture we hope that the drought is beginning to break. We should see incredible prices when it does. We look forward to spending the day with you and serving you lunch. Feel free to stop by and see the bulls prior to the sale. Thank you for considering our program. We look forward to seeing you! Jeff Swanson

SWANSON CATTLE COMPANY BULL SALE

www.Swansoncattleco.com

📍 March 3rd | Sale Day — Don’t Miss It

This isn’t a numbers-chasing bull sale.
This is a cowman’s sale.

We’re offering a powerful set of Balancer, SimAngus, Angus, and select Red Angus bulls built for the real world — cattle designed to work, last, and make you money year after year.

🔥 Built Around What Actually Matters

✅ Moderate birthweights
✅ Performance where it pays
✅ Structurally sound, athletic cattle built to travel
✅ Maternal strength backed by longevity-proven cows
✅ Easy-fleshing cattle that stay productive in tough conditions

These bulls come from 13-14 year-old cows still raising quality calves — not short-lived paper champions.

Our Philosophy Is Simple:

👉 A live calf comes first.
👉 Feet and structure are non-negotiable.
👉 Fertility pays the bills.
👉 Good cows build great ranches.

If you’re tired of chasing one number and ready to build a maternal cow herd with carcass merit and real-world performance, this sale is for you.

💥 Big-bodied bulls. Functional genetics. Ranch-raised honesty.

Come early. Walk the pens. Study the consistency for yourself.

Every year this moment sneaks up on us.

Years of planning — breeding decisions, late nights, cold mornings, paperwork, feeding, and watching cattle — all come down to one day.

But the truth is… this sale isn’t built in a year.
It’s built over generations.

At Swanson Cattle Company our goal has never been to chase one number or follow industry trends. We raise cattle that work in the real world, cattle that stay sound, travel correctly, breed efficiently, and raise calves year after year.

We believe a live calf and a productive cow come first. Everything else comes after that.

These bulls come from cows built to last. We’re proud to still have 13-year-old cows producing in good condition, doing their job without babysitting. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident, it comes from selecting for maternal strength, structural correctness, and easy-fleshing genetics generation after generation.

Our program focuses on:

✅ Moderate birthweights with vigor at birth
✅ Structural soundness and athletic movement
✅ Maternal power and longevity
✅ Easy-keeping, efficient cattle
✅ Real carcass merit without sacrificing functionality

We don’t believe in breeding cattle that look good for a photo but fall apart in five years. Too many programs chase a single trait and forget the cow has to live, travel, breed, and raise calves for a decade or more.

Our goal is different:

Build a maternal empire that works for commercial cattlemen.

These bulls were developed the same way we run our own cows — practical rations, real environments, and no shortcuts. What you see on sale day is exactly what they are.

To everyone who has supported our program, believed in our genetics, and come back year after year — thank you. Your trust means everything to our family.

If you’re looking for cattle built for longevity, efficiency, and profitability — we invite you to come study the bulls, ask questions, and see them in person.
