Camerlinck Cattle Co.

Camerlinck Cattle Co., Chianina cattle, Leonardville, Kansas, is a family-run operation serving the Flint Hills region near Manhattan. Robert J. Camerlinck has focused on Chianina breeding for several generations, following guidelines of the American Chianina Association and conducting regular health screenings. The herd grazes on rolling clay loam pastures, and calves are socialized through gentle handling from birth in a pasture-based setup.

Their pasture-based management and rotational grazing support animal welfare, soil health and long-term sustainability. A recent visitor remarked on the calm temperament and uniform condition of the cattle at this family-run ranch. Record-keeping for maternal health, growth rates and hoof care ensures transparent breeding standards and sound herd development. They participate in regional livestock exhibitions to share breeding insights and evaluate performance against industry benchmarks.
