ABOUT KENRAY RANCH
Kenray Ranch is located 7 miles south of the town of Redvers in the southeast corner of Saskatchewan. The ranch is primarily owned by Ray & Donelda Kyle and operated with the help of Lyndon & Karmen, and Sheldon Kyle. The next generation continues to expand the land base and develop the breeding herd for the future. Ray's great grandparents homesteaded the property in 1902, the Kyle's are extremely proud that in 2002 they received their century family farm award. The Kyle's have been actively involved in the breeding of quality Red Angus since 1986.

In order to provide the very best Red and Black Angus genetics possible we perform an extensive selection process utilizing the most current tools available.

Females are sold year round privately from the ranch. Additionally the Kyle's offer females at a number of female sales across western Canada. These sales have included The Masterpiece in Regina, SK, the Red Round-Up in Red Deer, AB and the Red Coat Angus Advantage Sale in Brandon, MB. Ray and his family take great pride that many of the females sold in the past have gone on to produce industry leading offspring. For proven "genetics that you can build on" make Kenray Ranch your choice for females or herdsires.
The Kyle family is committed to the beef industry and would enjoy visiting with you about their program. If you are ever in the area be sure to stop in, as the coffee is always on.
RANCH HISTORY
The name Kenray Ranch was derived from the names of two of the pioneers at the ranch, Ken Kyle (left) and his eldest son Ray (right). In the 1970's Kenray Ranch were involved in breeding top quality Simmental genetics and actively imported new genetics from Germany. When Ray and his wife, Donelda, took over complete operation of the ranch, in 1981 they started to breed their replacement Simmental females to calving ease Red Angus sires. The results of this cross impressed Ray and Donelda so much that it led to the complete transition to Angus. In the fall of 1986 a group of registered Red Angus females were purchased from Moose Creek Red Angus. In the fall of 1999 an opportunity to acquire a group of Black Angus females presented itself. The registered Red Angus herd has grown to a current cow base of 160, while the Black Angus herd consists of 20 cows.
