Baker Lemar Angus, St. Onge, SD

About
Baker’s have been producing quality Angus cattle for over 70 years, concentrating on the traits that commercial cattlemen demand in their bulls. Balanced E.P.D’s, positive performance, easy fleshing ability, carcass and disposition. Whether you are running straight Angus or are cross-breeding, these bulls will give you more pounds per calf at weaning. The females are well uddered and fertility and longevity is important in our program.
We have been raising Black Angus cattle since 1951, and have been located at our ranch near the Black Hills of South Dakota since 1977. We are located 10 miles from the Wyoming border and 20 miles from the Montana border. We are a family-owned and operated ranch dedicated to producing Angus cattle that perform with predictability.

Our cow herd is fertile and efficient, maintaining the calving ease and maternal ability the Angus breed is known for. BAKER’S LEMAR ANGUS is dedicated to using proven genetics that produce the like kind in performance, quality and milking ability. We try to select and produce genetics for the times ahead. Our cattle are performance tested and marketed through our Annual Production Sale in April.

Stop by and visit anytime and see our cow herd.
