Welcome back to Genetics & the Gavel, powered by American Cattlemen Media. Just ahead, we Gale McKinney, he's the owner of American Cattlemen Media, and he chats with Jeremy Leister, Ranch Manager of Pollard Farms. In this episode, Jeremy and Gale will dive into the Pollard Farms 27th Annual Spring Bull & Female Sale, held on March 18th, 2026, at 12PM CT, at Pollard Farms in Waukomis, Oklahoma. 

At Pollard Farms, their goal is to produce bulls with superior growth and carcass traits, ensuring customers benefit from the increased value of heavy calves and the substantial grid premiums achieved.

The Pollard Farms program is built around customer service and long-term profitability for buyers. Pollard Farms strives to produce Angus cattle that combine phenotype, structural soundness, and elite EPD profiles, with a particular focus on growth and carcass traits that allow customers to capture premiums on heavy, high-quality calves. Jeremy emphasizes that they are not chasing a single niche; instead, they are using the tools and technology of the American Angus Association, along with carefully selected AI sires and top-end Angus females, to create cattle that work in a wide variety of commercial environments.

The sale is front-loaded with long-age bulls ready for heavy service, including powerful, structurally sound brothers in the first two lots that combine eye appeal with strong numbers. The offering includes sire groups by several prominent AI sires that bring together marbling, performance, and balance.

On the female side, the sale includes first-calf heifer pairs carrying young, fresh genetics, along with proven four- to six-year-old spring-calving cows and a group of fall-bred cows and heifers. Jeremy explains that this variety is intentional, giving buyers the opportunity to start a herd, rebuild numbers, or add quality females in whatever combination fits their program. He also outlines buyer-friendly terms such as breeding soundness exams, breeding-season guarantees, and volume incentives, all designed to support customer success.
