Kozak Longhorns

Kozak Longhorns is a Spanish criollo cattle breeder in Vilna, AB, serving Smoky Lake County and the northeastern Alberta region near Edmonton. Its operation follows breed standards with routine health screenings to ensure soundness and longevity. Records for each animal are kept in line with breed registry standards, supporting transparency and lineage tracking.

Cattle graze on native pasture near the farmstead with regular gentle handling to encourage calm temperaments. The farm includes sheltered yards and shady pastures that offer protection and comfort throughout changing weather. The herd’s compact size allows careful selection of breeding pairs and close attention to individual animals, and calves born and raised on-site develop resilience and reliable maternal instincts.

Under Ray Kozak’s guidance, rotational grazing practices enrich the pasture and support long-term herd health. Visitors note the cattle’s friendly disposition and the thoughtful layout of paddocks that encourages natural behaviors.
