When the price for one bull hits the $900,000 mark, it creates a lot of interest anywhere, but especially in a town like Scotia, Nebraska.
Local news outlets reported a 1-year-old bull from Poss Angus Ranch hit that impressive price mark in the ranch’s annual bull sale. The bull’s name? Poss Deadwood.
Danny Poss told reporters he could see interest building in the bull as the sale neared, with 4,500 semen orders and interest from a number of states across the country, and even around the world. As the auction came to a close, Poss Deadwood sold to Texas’ TK Cattle out of Menard.

Itâs not every day that an Angus bull sells for $900,000, but Danny Poss was not surprised.
His bull, Poss Deadwood, sold via phone bid to TK Cattle of Menard, Texas, during the Poss Angus Ranch annual bull sale Feb. 5 in Scotia.
âEverything just kept leading up to this sale,â Poss said.
He had an idea that Deadwood would bring a lot of money when before the sale, the ranch had semen orders of 4,500 units. Buyers expressed interest from Texas to Montana, from California to Florida, and all the way to Delaware.
âPeople in almost every state wanted semen from this bull,â Poss said, adding that he also had calls from Australia.
