Caraway Red Angus Annual Production Sale
Description
Welcome back to Genetics & the Gavel, powered by American Cattlemen Media. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, he's the owner of American Cattlemen Media, and he sits down with Jon Caraway, Owner of Caraway Red Angus. In this episode, Jon and Gale will dive into the Caraway Red Angus Ranch 2026 Annual Production Sale, held on March 21st, 2026, at 1PM CST, at the Darr Feedlot Bull Development Center, in Cozad, Nebraska.
At Caraway Red Angus, they take pride in heritage and commitment to quality. Their family has been raising Red Angus cattle for Generations, ensuring that each bull sold meets their high standards.
Generations of Jon’s family have been involved with the breed, and the ranch focuses on ensuring that every bull offered for sale meets their rigorous standards of performance and reliability for commercial cattle producers.
Jon explains that their operation is a true family effort. He grew up in Minnesota, while his wife is originally from Nebraska. After serving 23 years in the military, Jon retired in 2021. At that time, his father-in-law, who did not have a successor for the ranch, offered Jon and his family the opportunity to take it over. They moved the cattle south about five years ago, with the goal of creating a life where their children could ranch without needing multiple jobs, something Jon himself had to juggle while previously working full-time for the National Guard and running cattle in Minnesota.
This is more than just a one-day sale; it is an ongoing program that has been built to serve commercial cattlemen over the long term. The setting at the Darr Feedlot Bull Development Center further reinforces that the bulls have been managed with careful development in mind, providing buyers with animals that are ready to go to work while still being set up for longevity. The sale is portrayed as a chance for repeat and new customers alike to tap into a program that values integrity, data-driven decision-making, and customer success.
