Here at KC Cattle Co., we strive to produce sound genetics that perform above average in the commercial setting! Artificial insemination is the cornerstone of our breeding program, and we invest a great deal of time in selecting the best bulls for our herd. We are passionate about the seedstock business because we believe every animal has the potential for improvement, no matter how good they are. We take great pride in producing top-quality animals.

We use proven bulls and base our selections on phenotype and expected progeny differences (EPDs). Each female in our herd is matched to a specific bull to enhance performance, structure, and stature. Although, we have a small herd it is not uncommon for us to use as many as 10 different sires in a given breeding season. We do not look for the most exclusive or rare genetics. We look for what will improve our herd.

Most commercial producers expect calving ease from Red Angus cattle, which is why we always consider birth weight in our selections. Weaning weight, yearling weight and milk also top our list of selection criteria. Most of our customers still get paid on the basis of pounds of weaned calf and they expect their cows to raise these calves on their own without additional feed.

Moreover, we recognize that carcass traits are increasingly important for enhancing the quality and value of the final product. Therefore, we aim to incorporate top carcass genetics into our herd while maintaining strong performance across other traits. Most Cattle producers take pride in their herds and love to show them off so we understand that eye appeal is also important to buyers. Straight top-lines, full hind quarters, deep bodies are selected for and, of course, sound feet and udders are a must. We target a frame score of '6' –not too big; not too small!

We are busy people so our herd must be trouble free. Cows and heifers must calve and mother up on their own. We have no tolerance for poor mothering or bad dispositions– life is too short to be wasted on those cattle.

We intend to be around for a while and hope to meet your needs.

We value your input and welcome any feedback you may have. Please feel free to reach out to us.
