GIBSON CATTLE COMPANY

Clearly, we are not suggesting we are one of the esteemed Founders of the Red Angus Association. We did, however, develop one of the foundation herds of the Red Angus Breed. Modena purchased a brother of the 1936 International Grand Champion (red factor) Angus bull Epponian 8th of Rosemere from Yakima, Washington. One of our remaining 1952 pedigrees goes back to Epponian 8th twice. When we partially dispersed to Pioneer Seed Company in 1970, those animals went on to become top animals in their herd. One animal Pioneer purchased we particularly liked was the 1956 Gibs Petnia 137 (885), who went to Pioneer at about age 14, we believe. Another great cow, the 1949 Lady Jean 3 (871) remained in the herd for 22 years. Longevity is built in!
