About circle K cattle co

Circle K Cattle Co. specializes in the breeding and sale of full-blood Akaushi cattle, offering bulls, females, and cow-calf pairs to cattle producers seeking premium genetics and exceptional beef quality. Located in Strafford, Missouri our family owned farm is dedicated to providing superior Akaushi genetics, which have set a new standard in the beef industry.

The Akaushi Difference:

Joe, the founder of Circle K Cattle Co., made the decisive switch from commercial Lim-Flex/Angus to Akaushi due to their unparalleled qualities.

 Akaushi cattle are renowned for:

• Premium Genetics: Akaushi are recognized for their superior marbling, which is second to none in the industry. This results in beef that consistently exceeds expectations in terms of tenderness, flavor, and juiciness.
• High Caliber Cow Performance: The breeding program at Circle K focuses on maintaining the highest standards of cow performance, ensuring robust health, fertility, and longevity in our Akaushi females.
• Extraordinary Beef Quality: Akaushi beef is celebrated for its rich, buttery flavor and exceptional tenderness, making it a preferred choice among chefs and consumers alike.

Crossbreeding Advantage:

One of the unique opportunities that Circle K Cattle Co. offers is the ability to cross full-blood Akaushi bulls with any commercial beef cow. This results in 50% Akaushi calves that command a premium compared to regular sale barn calves. 

Key advantages include:

• Calving Ease: Akaushi are known for their ease of calving, reducing labor and ensuring the health of both dam and calf.
• Comparable Weight Gain: Akaushi cross calves demonstrate comparable weight gain to regular American beef cattle, ensuring efficient growth and development all the while selling at a premium.
• Premium Weaning Weight: Depending on the quality of the commercial cow, Akaushi cross calves regularly wean at an impressive 600 lbs or more. This is comparable to commercial  American beef cattle, highlighting the economic advantage of choosing Akaushi genetics that sell at a premium.

At Circle K Cattle Co., we are committed to helping beef producers achieve their production goals with top-tier Akaushi genetics. Whether you are looking to enhance your herd's genetics or produce premium beef, Circle K Cattle Co. is dedicated to providing you with some of the highest quality Akaushi cattle available in America.
