Episode Details

For more than a century, Stellpflug Cattle Company has remained committed to producing practical, profitable cattle that work for commercial producers across the country. That commitment continues today as Andy Stellpflug and his family prepare for the Second Annual Hereford and Angus Female Sale, scheduled for July 24, 2026, at the ranch near Guernsey, Wyoming.

On a recent episode of Genetics & The Gavel, I had the opportunity to visit with Andy Stellpflug about the operation's history, breeding philosophy, and the impressive lineup of females being offered this summer. 

Founded in 1913 by Frank and Rebecca Stellpflug, Stellpflug Cattle Company has evolved into a respected fourth-generation seedstock operation known for producing elite Hereford and Angus genetics. Today, Andy and Theresa Stellpflug continue that legacy by combining industry-leading Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) with the kind of phenotype, structural soundness, and maternal value that commercial cattlemen demand.

During our conversation, Andy discussed the operation's focus on producing cattle that create value throughout the beef supply chain.

From carefully selected herd sires to a disciplined female program, the Stellpflug breeding philosophy centers on balancing performance, maternal strength, fertility, longevity, and visual appeal. The result is cattle designed not only to perform in the pasture but also to contribute measurable profitability for commercial producers.

Whether producers are looking to add growth, improve maternal traits, strengthen replacement females, or increase overall herd consistency, the genetics developed at Stellpflug Cattle Company are built with real-world ranching conditions in mind.

Andy expressed tremendous confidence in the depth and quality of this year's sale offering.

Buyers attending the July 24 event will have the opportunity to evaluate an outstanding selection of females, including:

• 45 Bred Angus Heifers
• 20 Bred Hereford Heifers
• 80 Angus and Hereford Pairs
• Pick of the Heifers

The sale represents one of the most complete offerings ever assembled by the ranch, featuring females backed by generations of proven genetics and carefully selected sire groups.

According to Andy, the consistency throughout the offering directly reflects the program's long-term breeding objectives. These females are designed to become productive, efficient cows that generate value for years to come.

In addition to the outstanding cattle, Stellpflug Cattle Company is creating an enjoyable event for customers and friends of the operation.

The sale will be conducted at the ranch, allowing buyers to view the cattle in their working environment and gain a firsthand look at the program behind the offering.

Additional sale information, including schedules, shipping arrangements, sale-day contacts, and videos, is available through the ranch.

As a special bonus, all registered buyers will receive tickets to attend the world-famous Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo, adding another memorable element to an already exciting weekend in Wyoming.

If you're searching for proven Hereford and Angus females backed by over 100 years of seedstock excellence, this is a sale worth attending.
