As a true ambassador for the Angus business, the late Laflin never let the dust settle under his feet. When he wasn’t working cattle, he was attending Angus sales and events across the nation. Laflin Angus was started in 1900 by Laflin’s grandfather, Eugene B. (E.B.), in southeast Nebraska.

In 1962, Bob Laflin expanded the operation to Kansas, purchasing a ranch near Olsburg that would become home to the first Certified Meat Sire herd bull in Kansas and host the very first performance-tested bull sale. In addition, Laflin hosted several Kansas Angus field days and industry seminars, along with yearly production sales.
