MacDonald Ranches: A Ranch Built On Quality Genetics
Black & Red Salers Genetics to Maximize the One Trait That Counts… Profit!
Our breeding program includes registered Salers seedstock, Optimizers (Salers crossed with Angus or Red Angus), and a few purebred Angus bulls and females — providing a wide selection of genetics to fit diverse ranching needs.
A Multi-Generational Family Ranch
MacDonald Ranches isn’t just about cattle — it’s about heritage and family legacy. The MacDonald family has been operating in the Bismarck region since the early 20th century. Our beef seedstock program traces back to 1939 with Polled Herefords, transitioning to Salers in the 1980s and 1990s to meet changing market demands.
Today, the flagship ranch is managed by fifth-generation family members, who keep traditional ranch values alive while embracing modern livestock data tools like ultrasound and carcass evaluation to improve herd performance.
Annual Salers, Optimizer & Angus Production Bull and Heifer Sale
One hallmark of MacDonald Ranches’ success is its annual “Performance Power” production sale — traditionally held each March at Kist Livestock Auction in Mandan, ND. This sale draws bull buyers and commercial producers from across the U.S., thanks to high demand for Salers and Optimizer bulls and quality females.
America’s #1 Breeder of Salers Carcass Trait Leaders
With hundreds of head offered and packed sales each year, the event reinforces the MacDonald Ranches position as a top genetics provider in the beef cattle industry.
