Thank You For Visiting Dawson Angus and Show Cattle in Indiana

We’re thankful you’re taking the time to learn about our program and how it may fit the needs of your operation. For over 30 years, our family has taken tremendous pride in breeding Angus cattle that make sense for the serious cattleman. After 13 years of showing and bringing home purple ribbons, we’re hanging up our show sticks and offering our cattle to you. During those years, we not only purchased quality females from top breeders but retained all of our best heifers and cows. Needless to say, the process of carefully selecting females and culling those who didn’t meet our standards has filled the pasture with productive, sound, and functional cattle.

In an industry often characterized by its’ fads, our herd has stayed true to the basics. With much of our foundation going back to breeders such as Premier Angus, Dale Grubbs, and Les Craft, our cows are extremely functional and sound with solid EPD’s. Our successful breeding program has maintained these necessary traits and added an eye appeal that is really catching people’s attention. While we strive to keep these numbers high, we won’t sacrifice disposition or phenotype to do so. Fortunately, we have found that through thoughtful sire selection, we can accomplish both.

Just like you, we raise cattle for money and not with money. This has given us an appreciation for self sustaining livestock that calve easily and perform well. Our cows, having these traits, are easy fleshing and have a large birth to yearling weight spread. In addition, our high fertility has resulted in over a 90% AI conception rate to some of the most popular sires in the industry.

We think our customers characterize their relationship with Dawson Angus as open and honest; and, we will do whatever it takes to fulfill their needs and keep them coming back. Whether you’re looking for your next Angus show heifer champion, herd sire, or brood cow prospect, you owe it to yourself to at least take a look. You’re welcome to visit our operation anytime or contact us with any questions you might have. Our cattle have worked hard for us. They’ll do the same for you!

Go Indiana Angus!!!
