About Us
Directions to the Sale- Alt Route needed
The sale is at 4747 240th Ave in Webb, IA. Same location as the last 3 years. Unfortunately the bridges are out if accessing from the West/Hwy 71. If coming from Webb on the blacktop east turn on 240th ave and head north 1/2 mile (2nd acreage on the left). Crude map shows the route we take daily from Larson Angus farm to the Hermstad’s where the sale is held.
(Can take gravel at 260th Ave off of the Greenville blacktop and head south to blacktop or take 470th back west to 240th and then south. It will be the first acreage on the right if going that way.) Google maps may try to take you on the gravel by Goat Hill but as you can see on the map that little bridge is out. Very sorry for the inconvenience but we are positive the animals are worth the extra effort this year.
2025 Bulls
Our bulls are developed from 0ver 50 years of Larson Angus genetics. Sires are Tehama Patriarch, Dynamic, Gibson, and a few of our home raised bulls from Larson Angus. Larson Angus and our partners Marc & Drew Hinners, Tom Young, and Greg & David Hermstad are very excited to watch these bulls develop. If you want bulls from a select sire group, you won't be disappointed this year.
2025 Heifers
Our heifers are special as they are also a compilation of over 50 years of select breeding. We strive to produce hard working cows that will be productive for many years. They are very hard for us to part with as we in many cases know the long line of productivity in their genetics. We unfortunately only had 13 heifers this year, so we will six for sale. If Hinners or Hermstad’s have any to sell for you will update the list. We haven’t finalized the List but did add them onto the website with possibilitie.
We value our partnerships.
Larson Angus has partnered with Marc Hinners and Tom Young for many years. They had purchased bulls and cows from us in years past and this partnership has allowed us to provide a larger group of quality animals. David & Greg Hermstad have joined our group a few years ago as they have also purchased quality animals from Jim's herd over the past years. Our close connection has allowed us to provide customers a lower risk of bringing disease into their herds.
What You Want
We in the cattle breeding business are entering an exciting phase. We have the tools with sire summaries, EPDS, AI, Ultrasound, etc to dramatically change our cattle herds. We at Larson Angus are conscious of the need to produce what the consumer wants but we don't chase carcass traits to the extent that we sacrifice the production traits that are vital to any commercial cattle person.
What We Do
We strive to produce bulls that will sire moderate birth weight cattle that grow. Those bulls have to also sire heifers that will grow into wide, deep bodied cows that can go into a northern Iowa cornfield in the middle of winter and work. We are firmly convinced that the cow of the future will be a cow that does not require a lot of extra management.
How we do it
We put a lot of emphasis on the dams of any potential AI or natural service sire. Our cows must have good production records, calve on time, and have good functional type traits especially a good udder and docility. Jim does not use creep feed with his animals as we want to know that if we get a good calf it is not because the calf lived in the creep feeder.
