Herdsman Social | Jan. 10 

The Angus Foundation auctioned items to support its mission during the annual Herdsman Social at Cattlemen’s Congress Jan. 10. The event welcomed the Angus family for an evening of fellowship and featured refreshments, door prizes and the announcement of Cash Langford of Hunter Angus as the 2025 Angus Herdsman of the Year. 

For the auction items, past National Junior Angus Board Foundation Director Josh Jasper served as the auctioneer, and items sold included a men’s and women’s custom-made cowboy hat from Greeley Hat Works; a set of whiskey barrel chairs; and a custom cowhide bag from Holy Cow Couture. A 2025 National Finals Rodeo ticket package experience was also up for grabs. The Angus Foundation supports a diverse set of efforts focused on ensuring the Angus legacy remains strong.
