Welcome back to the American Cattlemen Podcast. Today, we have Gale McKinney, he's the owner of the American Cattlemen and he sits down with Darren Ippolito with Moose Creek Red Angus. During this episode, Gale and Darren will dive into the Moose Creek Red Angus 50th Anniversary Dispersion Sale held on December 22nd and 23rd at 10AM both days at the ranch in Kisbey, Saskatchewan.
This is more than a dispersion sale; it is both a celebration and a turning point for the Ippolito family. Rather than an exit from the cattle business, the sale reflects Darren’s desire to devote more time to his children and aging parents. The discussion highlights the depth and quality of the offerings, including bred heifers, bull calf pairs, herd bulls, two-year-old bulls, semen, open heifer calves, heifer calf pairs, single-lot cows, and frozen genetics—each representing the culmination of years of selective breeding, trust, and dedication to producing top-tier animals with strong maternal and functional traits.
Throughout the episode, Darren emphasizes the importance of tradition, the role of quality relationships, and the pride in being part of a multifaceted family operation. The conversation also addresses sale logistics, such as animal preparation, transportation, cross-border paperwork, sale-day hospitality, and the use of online platforms for bidders who cannot attend in person. A great sale here from Moose Creek Red Angus and we wish the Ippolito's luck on their future endeavors.
