Dutch Creek Angus

Welcome to the Dutch Creek Angus website. We created our herd and this website for those looking for practical cattle which can be profitable in an all-forage environment with a focus on the maternal end of the business.   For over 40 years the Dutch Creek breeding program has been focused on creating a more productive and efficient cowherd through the linebreeding of fertile, long-lived cows, some of which have weaned 4 to 5 tons of calves in their lifetimes. Therefore, it is not surprising that genomic testing of the Dutch Creek cowherd reveals 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 will maximize maternal output through more efficient utilization of your forage resources while minimizing the costs associated with replacing and/or maintaining open cows. ​ We hope you enjoy your visit to our website!

Dutch Creek Angus was founded by Doug & Susan Schlosnagle in 1981. Together, they purchased the farm as newlyweds and recent graduates from the University of Kentucky.  Today, they manage the farm with their adult children and families.
