Ladislav & Zora Kranjec

Kranjec Valley Angus Farm is a family farming operation located in the picturesque foothills of the Missouri Ozarks. Ivan Kranjec was 17 years old when he immigrated with his parents from communist Yugoslavia, hoping to realize his father’s dream to be an American farmer. Now, Ivan and his wife Donna live a dream they have spent nearly 40 years in the making. Together with their son Kristofor, wife Katherine, and new grandbaby, the Kranjecs feel blessed in a beautiful land of opportunity.

And just as Ivan traveled so many miles over 50 years ago, the Kranjecs continue to “go the extra mile” to bring excellence to the Angus breed.

THE BREED

These numbers compare the total average EPDs of the KVAF bulls in this catalog to the averages of all other bulls in the registered Angus breed. Note that you are looking at an entire set of balanced EPDs, rather than two or three selected EPDs sometimes highlighted in advertising.

How our Bulls

TACK UP

Valley Angus Farm goes the extra mile to

improve profitability.

Our animals are DNA tested and verified. Using updated Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) to guide animal selection, we look for traits that will improve the breed, bringing benefits to both the large commercial producer and the family farmer. Important to us are qualities such as sound feet, docility, maternal milk, and calving ease, combined with the performance of top weaning, yearling and carcass weights. Examples of bulls that represent this entire package approach are Mato (left) and his son Cobalt, both born here on the farm. Want to talk more? Come see us! Our spring and fall sales are excellent times to visit, but if you can’t make it...

We sell bulls by private treaty all year long!

About Us...

In 1982, the Kranjecs established Madison County Farm Supply in nearby Fredericktown, with the first product sold being eight bags of shelled corn. As time went on, the mill expanded and began mixing custom feeds for livestock producers around Southeast Missouri.

The Kranjec Family appreciates the folks who purchase their breeding stock and enjoys celebrating their successes. They were delighted to be in attendance at the presentation by the Missouri Angus Association recognizing one of their clientele as “Commercial Producer of the Year.”

Key to the emblems in the catalog:
