Kay-R Land and Cattle
Generations of Integrity. Cattle of Distinction.
For five generations, our family has poured our hearts into building Kay-R Charolais, our seedstock operation in Waskatenau, Alberta, Canada. What began as a passion for good cattle has grown into a trusted name in the Charolais breed, known for integrity, performance, and strong cow family foundations. Today, we continue to produce high-quality Charolais cattle that serve both purebred and commercial needs. Structural soundness, docility, and growth aren’t just goals for us—they’re the result of years of dedication, careful selection, and a deep respect for the animals and the people who raise them.
Our Breeding Philosophy
At the heart of our operation is a breeding philosophy that prioritizes functional cattle with strong maternal traits—proper teat placement, ample milk, body length, and sound structure.
Annual Bull Sale
Each spring, we host our Annual Bull Sale, featuring a strong lineup of Charolais bulls available both in person and online. These sales represent years of strategic breeding and our ongoing commitment to advancing the Charolais breed. If you’re looking for top-notch genetics to strengthen your commercial herd, look no further.
Leadership Rooted in Experience
Our bull development program emphasizes lean muscle growth and overall health. We raise our bulls on a performance-driven Total Mixed Ration (TMR), carefully formulated with forage analysis and organic minerals to promote rumen health and longevity.
Built on Trust, Backed by Results
Whether you’re a commercial cattleman looking for proven performance or a purebred breeder seeking elite genetics, we’re committed to delivering cattle that perform. Our unwavering focus on structure, soundness, and the value of Charolais-cross cattle has helped us build lasting relationships with buyers across Canada and beyond.
Continuing the Legacy, With You
Dedication to Quality
For generations, we’ve built more than just good cattle — we’ve built our operation on trust, relationships, and a deep commitment to doing things right. What began as a passion for superior genetics has grown into a legacy of consistent results and lasting partnerships.
As we look to the future, we’re proud to carry forward the values that got us here — and to share them with commercial and purebred breeders who care as deeply about quality and performance as we do. Whether you’re a long-time customer or just getting to know us, we’re here to work alongside you — continuing the legacy, together.
