The Senepol is a 25 percent base component of our South Poll composite. Our introduction to the Senepol breed was through Mr. Nicely in Tennessee, and, after that introduction we imported our first set of females from St. Croix, Virgin Islands.

In 1997 we again selected 80 plus head of Senepol females and three bulls from Casa Nugent and Annely (also of St. Croix). According to University of Florida research, Senepol is the most heat tolerant breed that they've tested.

We continue to put selection pressure on the Senepol for fertility, longevity, and, udder and carcass qualities as well. Senepol beef marbles very well, the meat is tender (absent of gristle) with well shaped ribeyes. We are working with other Senepol breeders to continue to produce the best of Senepol genetics for the southeastern production of quality beef.

We have semen available on several Senepol herd sires.
