K-Ler Cattle
Welcome to another episode of the American Cattlemen Podcast and our Producer Profile. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, the Publisher of American Cattlemen, and Seth Kaehler with K-Ler Cattle out of St Charles, Minnesota. Seth represents the fifth generation to live on their family farm, with plans to raise the sixth generation in the original household. The Kaehler family’s agricultural journey began when their great-great-grandfather, a wagon maker, started the operation through an unusual loan transaction. The Kaehler’s have a rich history in cattle breeding, initially working with Shorthorn, Angus, and Simmental breeds. Seth and his brother were both actively involved in the Junior Simmental Association, gaining early experience and passion for the industry. K-Ler Cattle focuses on breeding high-quality cattle with an emphasis on both performance and appearance. At the National Western Stock Show in Denver, the Kaehlers had a successful showing, securing reserve champion for five purebred Simmental bulls and three in the Performance, Genetics, and Economics (PNG) show. Their sale will feature 48 Simmental and Simangus bulls, five Angus bulls, 40 bred heifers, and some donor cows. The Kaehlers pride themselves on breeding cattle that not only have strong EPDs and indexes but also look exceptional. They focus on attitude, feet and leg structure, and offer a four-year feet and semen guarantee on their bulls. Their approach combines genetic performance with visual appeal, targeting both purebred and commercial cattle producers. Their sale offerings include bulls from notable bloodlines, with some coming from high-value cow families that have previously sold for significant prices. They also offer commercial replacement heifers, demonstrating their commitment to serving diverse market needs. The Kaehlers’ philosophy centers on breeding cattle that will ultimately help their customers make money, providing ongoing support and marketing assistance beyond the initial sale.
