Bobbie Kerslake-West

Bobbie Kerslake-West, Chianina cattle, Bend, OR, is based in Central Oregon and focuses on gentleness and structural soundness. She has raised this Italian breed for over a decade and holds membership in the American Chianina Association.

Her cattle graze on irrigated pasture year round and follow a low stress handling program that helps develop calm, well socialized stock suited for ranch and show environments. A recent state fair champion ribbon reflects her focus on sound conformation. The ranch sits just outside town on 75 acres of volcanic soil, a setting herds are accustomed to.

Her record keeping includes regular veterinary checkups, annual herd health testing for common cattle ailments and third party certification for transparency. Her homestead offers sheltered barn space with deep bedding to support health during wet months. Consultations include guidance on feed balance, vaccination schedules and calving management.
