WHY MOOSE CREEK RED ANGUS
A Proven System Builton 50 Years of Discipline
Moose Creek Red Angus was never just about raising cattle—it was about raising the bar.
When Ray and Betsy Ippolito introducedthe first Red Angus bulls into the herdin 1972,they committed themselves to a breed most had never heard of. Over five decades, that commitment has grown into one of the most respected and influential herds in North America.
This is a program proven through generations of disciplined selection, rigorous culling, and relentless improvement. Every cow family has been tested in real-world conditions, ensuring fertility, maternal strength, structural soundness, and efficiency remain at the core.

Acquire a Legacy Livestock Program

Elite Genetics. Rare Access.
Acquiring the Moose Creek herd is more than merely buying cattle. It’s acquiring a complete, time-tested system.
The genetics of the herd are the result of three generations of work, refined year after year with the goal of producing cattle that deliver reliability, profitability, and longevity.
For the first—and only—time, those genetics are available. Once dispersed, they are gone forever. That scarcity alone makes this dispersal unlike anything else in the industry.

Proven Performance.
Immediate Returns.
What makes this herd rare is not only its size—more than 1,000 head of elite purebred Red Angus—but the consistency behind it.
Raised on grass, through prairie winters, and under real-world management, these cattle are bred to work from day one: bred cows calving within 45–90 days, bulls ready to add performance and diversity, and cow families that provide instant credibility to a breeding program.

Scale, Credibility, and Scarcity
A strict philosophy has shaped Moose Creek’s program for decades: if cattle cannot perform, they do not stay.
That discipline has created a herd with rare consistency and reliability, recognized across provinces, states, and even internationally.
For 50 years, this family has poured everything into the Red Angus breed. The decision to sell is not a shift in strategy—it is the full transfer of a lifetime’s work.
