Griswold Cattle Grass to Grid Bull Sale 2026

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 John and Jeannie Griswold, Owners of Griswold Cattle Company. In this episode, they will dive into the Griswold Cattle Grass to Grid Bull Sale, held on March 27th, 2026, at 12:30PM CDT, located at the Griswold Sale Facility in Stillwater, Oklahoma.  At Griswold Cattle Company, they have always liked their females to have that extra look, chubby, stout, with that extra something that they call eye catching correctness and balance. They feel the bulls that follow in these pages will give you that extra look and power that set’s your program apart. John grew up in a multigenerational cattle family with Angus and Shorthorn influences, eventually building the current operation in Oklahoma through clipping, trading steers, and transitioning into breeding cattle. Jeannie was raised in a Utah seedstock operation, and the two met through cattle connections in Denver, later marrying and continuing the family tradition together. They emphasize that Griswold Cattle Company is far more than a show-cattle outfit. The operation runs around 2,000 mama cows, including registered and commercial females, marketing calves through sale barns, pens, and feeding programs. Their philosophy blends performance, phenotype, and maternal strength. They insist cattle must look good, function in the pasture, perform on the grid, and produce long-lived, consistent daughters. They caution against chasing numbers alone, stressing balance between carcass merit, structure, udder quality, longevity, and eye appeal. The offering includes over 200 bulls across Simmental, SimAngus, Angus, and Maine-Anjou/Main Angus, plus approximately 100 commercial spring pairs and heavy bred females. The Simmental and Sim-influenced cattle are praised for moderate frame, bone, capacity, and especially longevity and durability, suited to harsh environments and commercial programs nationwide. Their Angus bulls are built around powerful maternal cow families, calving ease, vigor, and functional, big-bodied females that can anchor a program for a decade or more.
