A Bar Ranch

A Bar Ranch, Simmental cattle, Louisville, KY, is located in the Ohio River valley near Lexington. The ranch has been breeding Simmental cattle for more than ten years, maintains full registration with the American Simmental Association and supports national herd improvement and conservation programs.

The ranch raises its herd on year-round rotationally managed pastures to promote herd health and soil resilience. Calves are socialized from an early age through routine handling and seasonal health exams, including genetic screening, parasite management and vaccination protocols. Bloodlines are chosen for balanced disposition, structural soundness and maternal traits. All breeding animals undergo annual veterinary inspections to confirm soundness and longevity.

Manure is composted and returned to fields to maintain natural fertility and reduce reliance on synthetic inputs. Fellow breeders and regional agricultural gatherings often recognize the ranch for its commitment to sustainable land and herd management.
