80 years ago near the town of Ellston in southwest Iowa, F.W. Hoover purchased his first Angus cows and began what is now one of the oldest Angus herds in the nation. At the present time, the cow herd numbers around 450 head with approximately 100 bulls and 90 females selling in each February's Production Sale.
Bulls are offered for sale private treaty throughout the spring and summer months.
John and Barb (Hoover) Kiburz and David, Joy (Kiburz), and Landi McFarland currently operate the farm. The farm where David, Joy, and Landi reside was homesteaded by the family over 150 years ago.
