Our Philosophy
Fertility. Growth. Carcass Quality.
Why choose Kenny's Creek?
“Start the way you want to finish”
I remember my father saying this to me many times over the years as I was establishing the business. There are many things that make us different as a business, and it is a lot more than vertical integration. If I had to narrow it down I would say there are three things that really define us and that have given us the opportunity to grow as a business.
Our Bulls
7 reasons Kenny’s Creek bulls will do the job:
1. Doing ability – bulls are grass fed at all times during their life.
2. Fertility – each female in our herd has to get in calf, calve unassisted, rear a calf and get back in calf within a 12 month period.
3. Disciplined objectivity – bulls are independently assessed for temperament, structure and conformity by Chris Saunders, Precision Breeding.
4. Tested and tested again – All bulls are serviceability tested prior to sale. Each bull has been semen tested and palpated by Chris Saunders, Precision Breeding, and ear-notch tested negative for pestivirus.
5. Known bloodlines – we only use bulls or semen from sires we have inspected. We avoid surprises in our bull and female progeny – predictability is the key.
6. Commerciality – we use our own bulls for our commercial breeding program. Since Spring last year we have joined, through AI and natural joinings, 3,500 of our own females using our own bulls and semen.
7. Breeding philosophies – we believe in the long term breeding philosophies of our program. Our philosophies have evolved over nearly 35 years in breeding Angus cattle commercially and for stud.
