Our Story

Our founder, Michael Breetz’s relationship with

Northern Kentucky and its Licking River Valley

dates back more than half a century. As a youth, he

was intrigued by farming and raising cattle. He loved the notion of being a steward of the land and chose to pursue the age-old practice of livestock farming.

Serving High Quality 

Licking Valley Cattle Co. has Historic Aberdeen Angus from Australia that enable us to raise smaller frame cattle that produce prime meat from our local forages. We utilize both summer and winter annuals reducing the need for hay and supplements to deliver a more sustainable and delicious product. 

Making a Difference.

We are currently working in partnership with the
University of Kentucky College of Agriculture in
order to develop rotational grazing through Master
Grazer – a program with the purpose of improving
grazing practices through outreach and education.
They recently certified Licking Valley Cattle Co. as
a Quality Cattle Handling and Care Facility.
