About Us

Topp Angus is a purebred Angus seedstock operation located north of Grace City, North Dakota, owned and operated by Paul, his wife Jess, and their children Hudson (19), Sienna (16), and Holden (7).

Topp Angus FamilyAlthough 3rd and 4th generation ranchers, Topp Angus is a 1st generation ranch. Being a first-generation ranch, growing our herd, building from the ground up, all while raising a family, we know all too well the cost of production and how tight margins can be. We expect live healthy calves, we weed out inefficiencies out of necessity, and most importantly we expect a herd that can excel in production consistently.

Topp Angus began in 2010 with the procurement of 40 cows from TC Ranch out of Nebraska and has grown today to over 400 cows being calved out over two different calving seasons – January/February and August/September. With our location and extreme weather variation calf vigor, substance, and grit play a huge role in our genetic selections. We cannot guarantee life will be perfect for these cattle and expect animals that have a strong will to survive and thrive no matter what the conditions.

We built our herd using a strong base, researched genetics, strict culling, and a commitment to detail in all aspects of the operation. We utilize embryo transplant, A.I., purchased herd sires, and ranch raised sires to create continued genetic advancement focused on fundamentals and balance. We believe in consistency from top to bottom and require our turn-out sires to be every bit as good as the best A.I. sires on the market.

We have our annual bull sale in April, where we market 130, 14 & 20-month-old bulls and sell another 40-50 bulls private treaty throughout the spring. Females are marketed private treaty from our ranch direct to our customers throughout the year. We do not believe in keeping 50% of our bulls and heifers, we believe in having a cowherd that never misses. We will not chase the latest fads but continue with balanced genetics that we can guarantee will improve your herd for many generations to come.
