ROLETTE, N.D. – In our last article, we noted that McCumber Angus will hold their annual production sale on the fourth Wednesday of March, but they have another important sale coming up in just a few days, on Jan. 4. This is a special commercial bred and open heifer sale for those who have purchased genetics from the McCumber Angus Ranch or the Spickler Angus Ranch near Grace City, N.D. This sale will take place at Kist Livestock in Mandan.
