Grand 'Ole Place Farms

Grand ’Ole Place Farms is home to Chianina cattle in Nicholasville, KY, Jessamine County and the Bluegrass region near Lexington. They are members of the American Chianina Association and follow recommended health screening protocols for genetic traits and calving ease. Their cattle graze on rotational pastures shaded by mature oaks, where each calf benefits from early socialization and low-stress handling.

Their hands-on approach extends to careful nutritional planning, pasture rotation, and ongoing veterinary oversight to support herd wellbeing. On their historic farm operated by Ken Culp Jr. and Ken Culp III, they blend family tradition with modern herd management practices. Visitors note the calm temperament of the calves and the farm’s relaxed atmosphere around feeding time. Their herd records demonstrate steady growth rates, and several animals have earned performance recognition at state fairs.
