There are a quite a few Castle Nugent Farms (CN) Senepol sires and cows that you will often see proudly listed in the pedigrees of many Senepol ranches, including our own.

Here are a few of our sires and cows that were sold and exported after they became proven breeding animals here at Castle Nugent, and have made an historical difference to the development of the Senepol breed in the U. S.

Castle Nugent Farms has been breeding Senepol since 1957 on our ranch on St. Croix, the largest of the US Virgin Islands, a territory of the U.S. At Castle Nugent, genetics and free range have kept the breed's qualities at their highest level through the years. Selection and improvement are a constant active goal on our ranch on the East end of St. Croix, (where climatic conditions are harsher than on the West end of the island) to always reach for the top in fertility, performance and conformation.
