About Klompien Red Angus |
|
Klompien Red Angus was established in 1990, when Dave & Kay purchased all of the CK Red Angus replacements and leased the
rest of the CK herd. CK Red Angus (Clint & Doris Kallestad) was established in 1968. Ever since she can remember, Kay
(Kallestad) Klompien has been working with Red Angus Cattle. Dave was raised with Polled Herefords and then later on a dairy. However, today he is totally sold on the Red Angus breed. He appreciates the focus on the relevant traits and, once being in the dairy business has absolutely no tolerance for poor udders. Currently they run 150 mother cows and retain about 60 replacement heifers. The cattle must meet very strict criteria and pay their own way. Problems (including feet, udders, attitudes, structure, fertility and calving) are simply eliminated. Using this philosophy, they increase the probability of buyer satisfaction; along with continuing to build the ultimate cow herd. The Klompien Red Angus Herd is composed of well-balanced, maternal, functional cattle. Extremes are avoided. Building the breed as a whole is also important, so Kay has served in several positions on the Montana Red Angus Board of Directors along with being active in state and local cattle organizations. This is a family business. The Lord has blessed them with daughters Renee and Kara along with new son-in-law Brad (who happens to actually be allergic to cows) and nephew, Jason; who are essential to the success of the operation. Both Dave & Kay’s parents are also appreciated as they lend helpful hands and run many last-minute errands. Klompien Red Angus will be selling several proven cows and also some bred heifers in the 3rd Annual Big Sky Elite female sale this fall – October 27, 2012. Bull calves will be on test at Midland Bull Test and then sold in April as yearlings. Please feel free to contact either Dave or Kay at your convenience. They would love to visit with you show off their cattle. The friendships that they have established along their journey in the cattle business are absolutely priceless. Thank You for your interest in the Klompien Red Angus Program |
