The Sandy Bar Angus home page - where it all begins! The latest news at Sandy Bar Angus Ranch. Let us tell you about our Black Angus herd bulls and sires of the young bulls were are selling. It takes hardy black females to be productive in the shortgrass country of Southwestern Saskatchewan - we're proud of our cows! The Sandy Bar Angus Ranch cattle management program is all about raising good working bulls from our low maintenance cows. The Switzer family and ranch history tells about how we got going with our Angus cattle. Selling our Angus cattle is what pays the bills - check out the Shortgrass Bull Sale each spring! Visitors are always welcome - let us know you were here! Here are some links to other websites that we believe are of interest to fellow cattlemen.
