MCC arcy att o Quality Angus with Milk a

Our history in the Angus business started more than 75 years ago with our dad Charles, his brother and their father before World War II. After the war, the registered Angus herd of Jay Marcy and Sons began in earnest. Seventy-five years later, we had our 55 th Annual Sale in 2016 that averaged $6,378, and our 56 th annual sale in 2017 averaged $5,353 on 160 bulls. At our 57 th Annual Sale in 2018, 187 bulls averaged $5,335 – a three-year average on 496 bulls sold at auction of $5,654. We continue the tradition of raising the very best Angus cattle for our customers that we can. Our original and best cow families selling in this sale started from the base of these females. You will note the cow family profiles of Marcys Ethelda E, Marcys Pride and the descendants of Marcys Erica 118 trace back to foundation cows owned by Jay Marcy and Sons in 1945. These prolific cow families have formed the nucleus of our herd, with additions from a few select top breeders in the country.

Our father, Charles Marcy, rode horses well past his 80 th birthday.

We have been performance testing cattle for over 50 years. In our experience, real performance always tells the story about what an animal can actually produce versus high-rated projections. Reality shows that a poor cow with great EPDs is still a poor cow and a great cow with average EPDs is still a great cow. In one day you can appraise and purchase cows with more than 75 years of intense genetic selection pressure, which has resulted in no-nonsense, productive, top-quality females that annually produce one of the top bull sales in the nation.
