“Where Quality and Performance Meet”

Welcome to Cannon Valley Ranch: A Legacy of Quality Angus Cattle and Family Tradition

At Cannon Valley Ranch, family is at the heart of everything we do. Owned and operated by Bruce, LeeAnn, Taylor, and Aaron Waugh, our ranch has been a cornerstone of the local farming community for decades. We are proud to specialize in raising top-tier registered Angus and Akaushi (Wagyu) cattle, focused on breeding stock that helps improve herds from coast to coast.

Every year, we host our highly anticipated Annual Herd Builder Sale, where our best cattle are sold to buyers who value quality and performance. We also have proudly showcased our Angus genetics at select consignment sales, including the prestigious National Western Stock Show Foundation Female Sale, Midland Bull Test Station Sale, and the Minnesota State Sale.

Our Commitment to Quality and Innovation

Cannon Valley Ranch is not just about raising cattle; it’s about producing the kind of cattle that meet the needs of both commercial cattlemen and fellow purebred breeders. With a herd of 140 registered Black Angus, Red Angus, and Akaushi females, we take pride in using cutting-edge breeding techniques, including Artificial Insemination (AI) and Embryo Transfer, to accelerate genetic progress.

Our focus is on breeding cattle that are structurally sound, reproductively efficient, and have excellent performance traits. From calving ease to quiet dispositions, we’re committed to producing animals that are functional and attractive — cattle that will thrive in any herd and provide the best beef for families and consumers.

Our Expansion into Ranch-to-Table Beef

In 2018, we made the exciting decision to expand our offerings by adding direct-to-consumer beef sales. Now, you can enjoy the same high-quality Angus and Akaushi beef that has helped shape the reputation of Cannon Valley Ranch — right at your dinner table. From juicy steaks to mouthwatering roasts, our Ranch-to-Table Angus & Akaushi beef is available for purchase through our website.

Whether you’re a fellow breeder looking for premium seedstock or a family looking to enjoy delicious, locally raised beef, Cannon Valley Ranch is proud to offer products that are not only of the highest quality but also raised with care and a commitment to sustainability, and regenerative agriculture.
