Welcome to the Dutch Creek Angus website, your source for quality Angus cattle in Kentucky. We created our herd and this website for those seeking practical cattle that thrive in an all-forage environment, with a strong emphasis on the maternal side of the business. For over 40 years, the Dutch Creek breeding program has focused on developing a more productive and efficient cowherd through the linebreeding of fertile, long-lived cows, many of which have weaned 4 to 5 tons of calves in their lifetimes. It’s no surprise that genomic testing of the Dutch Creek cowherd shows reproductive (fertility) scores and functional longevity scores at the top end of the Angus breed. Our genomic test results confirm that by incorporating Dutch Creek genetics into your cowherd, you can maximize maternal output while effectively utilizing your forage resources and minimizing costs associated with replacing or maintaining open cows.
Dutch Creek Angus was founded by Doug & Susan Schlosnagle in 1981. As newlyweds and recent graduates from the University of Kentucky, they purchased the farm together. Today, they manage the farm alongside their adult children and families, providing quality Angus genetics for producers seeking to enhance the efficiency and productivity of their herds.
