RANCH HISTORY

First Simmental GeneticsBranded Quality 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 180, while the Black Angus herd consists of 20 cows.
