The Haas Ranch Complete Dispersal Sale was held on Monday, January 5, 2009 at the Kist Livestock Auction, Mandan, ND. The families of Larry & Tom Haas have had quite a ride this past 35 years in the seedstock business and have hard working cows across the US and Canada to prove that their breeding program has been a success. There is a comment you will hear in several parts of the country including Canada and that comment is “We love our Haas cows!” As the brothers turn to start a new chapter in their lives and hopefully slow down just a bit, buyers from across the Midwest and Canada will enjoy hard working Haas females for years to come. We wish the Haas family the best and thank them for their years of commitment to the Simmental breed.
