Simmental Herd Sires

We believe that this our strongest sale offering to date. The level of quality will speak for itself. Cows make the difference. We place a high emphasis on maternal traits and have gone to great lengths to build a cowherd that is not only multi-generations solid colored and polled with outcross bloodlines but, most importantly, our females are proven and predictable and basically problem free. They are the backbone of our program. We are especially proud of our current herdbull battery. Each one brings different dimensions to our breeding program that enables us to provide superior seedstock to our customers that excel in various traits. Every bull in the sale is multi-generations polled. We’ve stacked homozygous polled bulls in our pedigrees for many years, so the odds are high that many homozygous polled bulls are selling. This sale group also offers some fresh, outcross genetics.

After searching for herdsires at the Denver Stock Show in ‘07, we found what we were looking for at the Walsh Simmental sale in Nebraska. Red Dream provides the potent Dream On influence, but most importantly, his dam is one of the elite cows in the breed. This Meyer Ranch female is an awesome solid black cow with an excellent production record. Her ET sons have dominated the Walsh sales and her daughters are highly sought after as well. We used Red Dream heavily as a yearling and this set of sons selling may be the best large sire group we’ve ever offered. They carry so much quality and are so uniform. The female end is equally as good so Red Dream was used even heavier this past breeding season. His sons have caught the attention of some very good cattlemen and we’re confident they’ll do a great job.

Red Tank 55S topped the ‘07 Springcreek sale’s red division and has sired a great set of calves for us. He was easily our pick of the 57P sons as he is so sound and correct with great hair and testicular development. His great emperament is also an asset. 55S’s dam is a moderate framed, solid red cow with an excellent udder . . . she’s definately a herdbull mother. Her ET calves, both male and female, were an impressive group. This set of Tank 55S sons is impressive and we feel that there are several big league herdsire prospects among them.

Optimal Vision was our other choice at the ‘07 Walsh Simmental sale. Garth was very impressed with the black Trademark progeny at Denver and we were so pleased to find this outstanding red son. Trademark has evolved from being one of the most competitive show bulls of his time into a true breeding bull whose calving ease and maternal traits set him apart from other proven Simmental AI sires. He consistently sires attractive cattle with extra base width and power for a “heifer bull”. He ranks in the breed’s top 3% for calving ease epds and the top 10% for milk and maternal weaning weight epds. Optimal Vision’s (OV’s) dam is another of Walsh’s top donor cows. They spare no expense to acquire the very best. We’re so pleased with OV’s first set of calves. They’re all out of heifers, were born easily and have impressed us with their mass, rib shape and thickness . . . he’s a true curve bending sire Quadruple Red - Homozygous Polled

Driftwood is the best black Simmental bull we’ve ever used or owned. His extreme depth and thickness along with his ease of fleshing are hard to find. Driftwood is an impressive individual but most importantly, he transmits his quality to his progeny.....he breeds what he is. His calves are an impressive sire group and are drawing rave reviews. Garth toured the Dimler operation and was very pleased with the cow family behind 83P. His grandmother and her full sister are simply awesome and provide some outcross, Fleckvieh genetics for our program. We lose a generation of olledness and solid color with these outcross genetics, but Driftwood has proven to be both homozygous polled and homozygous black and his progeny are very solid colored. Driftwood will play a major role in our future. Many visitors have said he is the thickest black Simmental bull they have ever seen. If you want to put some butt and guts in your calves, put a Driftwood son to work for you. Driftwood’s first daughters calved last spring and are everything we hoped for . . . they are the dams of several of our top sale bulls.

We added Total Solution (TS) to our herd bull battery to acquire the strong influence of the Meyer Ranch 734 bull. His semen is in short supply and is selling for over $500 per dose as his daughters are so very good. Macho M450 is 734’s best son and is following his sire’s lead of creating super females with near perfect udder type and lots of substance and hair. TS was bred by Raymond Gonnet and his dam an impressive cow that produced the ’05 Checkers high selling bull at $10,000 to Tierra Sol Cattle Co. They showed him as a two year old and he was the ‘07 Agribition Senior Champion bull. We’re very pleased with this first set of TS sons and we can’t wait to get his daughters into production.
