Koupal’s B&B Angus Summer Visit

Herd Report visits Koupal's B&B Angus in Dante, South Dakota for a summer ranch tour with Bud Koupal. Scott and Bud walk through the cow herd and calf crop, breaking down sire groups — including Conviction, Diverse, Herdsman, Iceberg, and Resolution — and what to expect heading into the 2027 bull sale. They talk about Bud's breeding philosophy: functional, complete cattle built for the commercial cattleman, not just the numbers on paper. The conversation also touches on a tough, dry summer in the region and how Bud's cowherd is handling it, plus the legacy of the "Inevitable" bull and what's next for his genetics. The episode wraps up with a Fast Money game and a look at Bud's possible future on the Angus board of directors
