WELCOME TO THE RANCH!
LK Cattle Company is located in NW Oklahoma in the farming and ranching community of Alva. Currently the farming operation consists of wheat and cattle feed crops. LK Cattle Company grows much of the feed for our cattle. The ranching operation includes wheat, grazing mixtures and grass pasture where we graze stockers and a cow/calf herd. Land more recently aquired was purchased for its suitability to grow corn to be used in the feedyard. Calves are preconditioned in the pens before they are placed on pasture and then they are sent to Midwest Feeders at Ingalls, KS for fattening.
Good horses and good cow dogs allow us to run our cattle operation with very little help. Both the cattle and horse operations have continued to grow. We constantly strive to improve the genetics in both our cattle and our horses. LK Cattle Company mares are bred to some of the finest cutting horse sires in the industry. Our horses never lack exposure to good cattle. The cattle operation allows constant access to cattle for training young horses. Whether a horse is headed to the arena or to the ranch, the genetics and the exposure to cattle ensure a good start at being a good horse.

LK Cattle Company's ranch headquarters consists of a 1,000 head preconditioning yard, a 200' by 300' outdoor roping arena, a 160' outdoor round pen, a 50'outdoor round pen, a 120' by 120' square outdoor pen and a 75' by 125' indoor pen in which to work horses. Cutters are welcome to bring horses here to work fresh calves anytime. |
| LK Cattle Company has always been in the horse business. Our emphasis was on raising horses using mares with both cutting horse and foundation pedigrees to produce a few good horses for the ranch or to sell to ranchers. In 2008, we began the cutting horse division of the ranch with the purchase of Freckles Quick Girl and Travalano Missy. Since then, other mares have been added. Our mares are chosen for good genetics. We look for good size and bone in our mares so that no matter what jobs their foals are trained to do, they can stand up to the task. Many of the mares have been ridden and have competed in cutting and roping events. We always have cutting and roping horse prospects for sale and often have started and trained cutting, roping and ranch horses for sale. |  |
In addition to using good horses on the ranch, we couldn't get along without some good cow dogs. They save us time, steps and money. Kevin trains all of the dogs. The dogs work at the chute when cattle are processed. They help gather pastures, traps and pens, help sort cattle and load trucks and they can turn back when we are working the cutting horses. Kevin has dogs at various stages of training for sale.
You are welcome at the ranch any time. Come look at what we have for sale, or come bring your cutting horses to work the cattle.
