Welcome to another episode of the American Cattlemen Podcast and our Producer Profile. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, the Publisher of American Cattlemen, and Dennis Depee, owner of Deppe Angus. Dennis, an agricultural education teacher and FFA advisor, and Jennifer, with a background in agricultural communications, have developed a thriving cattle breeding program focused on functional, high-quality genetics. Their operation has grown organically through customer referrals and a commitment to producing superior Angus cattle. The Deppes have carefully selected and developed their herd, keeping their female base private for the first decade and focusing on creating consistent, reliable genetics that perform well in diverse environments. The upcoming sale on February 21st showcases their breeding philosophy, featuring 73 yearling and aged bulls, 18 spring-bred pairs, and 25 open elite females. Highlights include two exceptional Glacier Sun bulls from a premium embryo purchase and a set of daughters sired by their top-selling Duracell 279 bull. The sale will offer genetic opportunities, including embryo and IVF cycles from their most promising females. What sets Deppe Angus apart is their holistic approach to cattle breeding. They prioritize functionality, longevity, and performance, testing their bulls at third-party stations and maintaining close relationships with feed yards to track their genetics' real-world performance. Their cattle have proven adaptable, successfully raising offspring in environments ranging from Utah's deserts to the southern United States. Dennis emphasizes their commitment to customer success, focusing on creating genetics that will help commercial producers improve their herds. By offering consistent, well-structured cattle with strong genetic potential, Deppe Angus has built a reputation for reliability and excellence. The sale represents an opportunity for producers to access top-tier Angus genetics from a program dedicated to producing functional, high-performing cattle that can thrive in various conditions.
