NYK Cattle Company was established in 2014. We currently run a herd of purebred Black Angus females and Limousin & Lim-Flex Females, nestled against the Douglas Marsh, just east of Brandon MB. We have been heavily involved with the purebred Angus operation of N7 Stock Farm and Limousin operation of Campbell Limousin for many years and have now struck out on our own. As you see many of our foundation females were sourced from N7 & Campbells and their programs have a heavy influence on our operation.
At NYK our goal is to produce functional, productive, and phenotypically attractive cattle that can work under any kind of conditions. Kaitlin and I believe that Angus females are the strength of the breed and our program focuses on maternal traits such as feet and udder structure, fertility, and fleshing ability. With the Limousin infusion we hope to provide some top bulls to our commercial customers looking for extra meat and muscling as a terminal cross. Although EPDs are not our focus, they are used as a tool to help us select elite genetics to use in our program. We believe in the use of AI and use it to inject some of the very best available genetics into our herd. While our numbers may be smaller, we intend on keeping only our top producing females so customers can be sure that we are supplying the highest quality seedstock possible.
Kaitlin and I met showing cattle and both have grown up in the show ring. We believe exhibiting cattle at shows helps us expose our product to a greater audience. Also shows help us measure our stock against fellow breeders to ensure we never become "barn blind" and lose track of the quality of our cattle. Most importantly shows allow us to connect with old friends and make new ones every year. Look for us at local fairs throughout the summer in Manitoba or at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, Manitoba Livestock Expo, and Canadian Western Agribition.
Sincerely,
Cameron, Kaitlin, Madison, & Rylee Nykoliation
