Welcome back to Genetics & the Gavel, powered by American Cattlemen Media. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, he's the owner of American Cattlemen Media, and he sits down with Juston Mitchell, Owner of 2S Angus Land & Cattle. In this episode, Juston and Gale will dive into the 2S Angus Annual Production Sale, held on February 27th, 2026, at the ranch in Seneca, Missouri.
At 2S Angus, breeding and herd management decisions are based on the core principles of producing Elite Seed-Stock genetically designed to be leading cattle operation in SW Missouri. An elite breeding program takes years of discipline and at 2S Angus they strive to move forward on a daily basis. Sparing no expense of time, money or energy when they set up their breeding and select our groups.
2S Angus emphasizes maternal strength and functional, profitable cattle for commercial producers, particularly in fescue country. Juston stresses that while he aims to raise nationally recognized, elite Angus, the foundation is a powerful commercial bull program supported by a consistent, proven cow herd. He focuses on females that are productive at four to five years of age and older, with many remaining in the herd into their teens. Traits such as phenotype, structural correctness, udder quality, feet, fertility, hair shedding, disposition, and longevity are non-negotiable. Culling is intense, and females or high-dollar purchases that do not work in the environment are moved on.
Juston highlights several key donor cows and cow families that anchor the program, including H4, 2-002, J38, and daughters of influential sires like T220, Reno, and others. He walks through feature bulls and females in the sale, noting consistent phenotype, depth of body, strong tops, sound feet, and calm dispositions. Sire groups mentioned include Jumpstart, Heat Seeker, Intuition, Jordan, Craftsman, Hometown, Capone, Monumental, Rangeland, and Alternative, each chosen to complement the cow herd’s strengths and maintain functionality and performance.
The sale will offer 55 18‑month‑old bulls and five elite heifers, representing the top of the 2S Angus program, with a straightforward customer-focused guarantee and the option to participate in person at the ranch or online through DVAuction.
