Eric Carney

Eric Carney and Renee Carney are Pinzgauer cattle breeders in Toutle, WA, serving Cowlitz County and southwestern Washington near Portland. They have been breeding and raising Pinzgauer for more than 15 years and maintain registered stock with the Pinzgauer Cattle Association. Regular health screenings for parasites and herd book records ensure genetic tracking and overall herd vitality. Annual hoof and dental evaluations and a veterinarian-approved vaccination schedule support herd health.

The Carneys practice rotational grazing across lush pastures, supplementing with mineral-rich hay during winter and providing clean water year-round. Their approach to low-stress handling and early calf group socialization supports steady growth and calm temperaments. The multi-generational farm blends time-honored husbandry with modern welfare standards, and their cattle have placed well at local county fairs, reflecting disciplined breeding goals. Pinzgauer from their herd suit both small-scale farms and homestead operations, valued for durability and efficient forage conversion.
