HILLTOP ANGUS - Key Persons

Hilltop Angus Farm was established by Morris and Allene Eisenbeisz in 1956 when they bought their first purebred Angus cows. In 1976, Blake joined them in the Hilltop Angus business and began production testing with AHIR. Their first Hilltop Angus Production Sale was held in 1978 at the Bowdle Livestock sale barn. The sale was held at this facility for 3 years until Blake and Morris built a new sale barn on Blake's farm one mile south of Bowdle. Morris & Allene, along with Blake and Glenda Eisenbeisz had continued the production sales, with the 43rd sale taking place in February 17, 2021. They have been joined by Blake Jr. and Jordre Eisenbeisz. Sale time is a family affair with Blake Jr and Jordre Eisenbeisz, Lyle & Brooke (Eisenbeisz) Heilman, Paige and Seth Hanson, and Doug & Hope Larson assisting annually on sale day. Morris passed away in 2009, but had helped feed some of the cows until a few months before his death. Everyone recognized Morris as the man that could make anyone laugh. He was a prosperous cattleman that was well known throughout the industry for many years.
