Basin Angus Ranch acquires Stevenson Basin Bull Center

Montana

Doug Stevenson, president of Basin Angus Ranch, announces the purchase of Stevenson Basin Bull Center, LLC near Hobson, Mont. The Bull Development Center and Sale Facility, located on Hwy 87 just east of Hobson, is a modern cattle handling and feeding facility and sale barn constructed in 2003 to develop the bulls and market the registered Angus seedstock raised by the Stevenson family ranches. Stevenson Basin Inc., the joint marketing agency for the Doug Stevenson, Clint Stevenson and Keith Stevenson families' Angus genetics for over 24 years, is being dissolved.

Basin Angus Ranch, the largest registered Angus operation in Montana, was started in 1972 by Marian and the late Wayne Stevenson. Basin Angus Ranch and Stevenson Angus began selling their cattle together in 1976, officially forming Stevenson Basin, Inc., in 1984 to jointly market the registered Angus seedstock and Angus semen produced by the Stevenson family ranches. While Stevenson Basin marketed their livestock together, the family's three ranches, Basin Angus, Stevenson Angus and Stevenson's Diamond Dot, continued to manage their cow herds independently. "The three operations have reached a point that we are not dependent on joint marketing," said Doug Stevenson, son of Wayne and Marian and a fourth generation Hobson rancher.

Buying out the interests of the other two partners in the Bull Center will allow Basin Angus to effectively and efficiently produce, manage and market Angus seedstock under one brand and one owner. For both the commercial cattleman and the registered producer, this means a guarantee of higher predictability, stricter standards and the same superior level of customer service Basin Angus is recognized for, built upon the foundation of the country's premier Angus genetics.

Basin Angus Fall Production Sale, which will include 200 registered females, 1,000 commercial females, 225 20-month bulls and 225 coming yearlings, will be November 30 and December 1 at the Bull Development Center.
