Ken Butner began in the Simmental breed with his dear friend and partner Wallace Harris in 1992. Together they formed H&B Farms and sold Simmental cattle throughout the South for many years. Eventually, Wallace retired and KenCo Cattle Company was formed.

KenCo Cattle Company is proud to be your source for Simmental, SimAngus, and Angus genetics throughout the South. Located in Petersburg, an hour south of Nashville, KenCo Cattle Company runs 350 head of cattle with an extenstive embryo transplant program. Our donor lineup includes Miss CCF Sheza Bandit who claimed honors as the Knick Overpeck Supreme Champion at the 2009 Simmental Breeders Sweepstakes and LLSF Shimmer, the Grand Champion Percentage Female at the 2010 Junior Nationals.

Each September, we host the Family Matters Sale which offers top genetics from our herd to Simmental breeders across the United States.

We invite Simmental breeders to visit our farm to view the sale cattle prior to sale time, and then join us in Auburn, Kentucky at the Sunset View Farms Sale Facility to join in the hospitality offered and acquire some of our genetics. We also consign to sales across the Mid-South such as the Dixie National Simmental Sale in February, the Tennessee Beef Agribition in March, and the North American "Select" Sale.

We take pride in offering Simmental and SimAngus genetics that are functional and profitable. We want our customers to be happy with our genetics and find success with them in the future.
