The “Back to Grass” Special Stock Cow and Breeding Bull Sale is positioned as a key spring event for ranchers across Oklahoma and neighboring states who are looking to strengthen their herds before turnout.

 

Cattle producers looking to reload on quality genetics this spring will find a major opportunity at Holdenville Livestock Market. The market is hosting its annual “Back to Grass” Special Stock Cow and Breeding Bull Sale on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at noon in Holdenville, Oklahoma. The event brings together a carefully assembled lineup of breeding bulls, pairs, bred heifers, and bred cows from progressive programs focused on performance, calving ease, and pasture‑ready cattle.

Consignments feature a deep offering of registered Angus, Sim‑Angus, Red Angus, and Charolais‑influenced cattle, with many lots backed by well‑known sires including Connealy Liberty, Ingalls Kahuna, Hoffman Thedford, Poss Winchester, and others. The bull lineup includes multiple Sim‑Angus and Angus bulls, plus several low birthweight options targeted specifically for heifer projects—an attractive draw for operations planning to build from the ground up with calving ease and growth in mind. The sale bill notes that these cattle represent years of progressive selection and performance testing.

On the female side, the sale emphasizes front‑pasture pairs and bred females. Buyers will see spring‑born calves at side by top registered bulls, long‑bodied Angus and Red Angus pairs, and sets of Angus‑Plus and crossbred cows bred to Charolais bulls, Black Composite sires, and other reputable herd sires. Many of the bred heifers and cows are synchronized to calve in tight windows—both spring and fall—giving buyers the ability to add uniform groups to their programs quickly. Several consignments are described as “hard to find” and “nice sets,” an indication that consignors are bringing cattle they would be comfortable keeping at home.

For convenience, the sale will also offer online bidding through LiveAuctions.TV, allowing distant buyers to participate if they cannot be ringside. Pre‑registration is required for online bidders, and prospective buyers are encouraged to contact Mike Cantrell or the Holdenville Livestock Market office for consignor details, lot information, and bidding instructions. With its focus on usable genetics and practical cow families, the “Back to Grass” Special Stock Cow and Breeding Bull Sale is positioned as a key spring event for ranchers across Oklahoma and neighboring states who are looking to strengthen their herds before turnout.
