Sale sponsored by the Montana Simmental Association

HIGH VALUE GENETICS Bred for Profitability

Welcome to the sale...

It is always a pleasure to work with the group of breeders that make up the Montana Simmental Association. These breeders are truly some of the best in Montana when it comes to producing profit focused genetics. I cannot say enough about the people involved in this sale, especially in regard to their commitment to the future, and truly making better, more profitable cattle.

The offering provides some unique opportunities including a couple of features, a retirement dispersal some front-end open heifers, and as in many years prior, some program-improving bred heifers that you’ve come to expect from this sale.

On behalf of the Montana Simmental Association, and Allied Genetic Resources, we would love your attendance at the banquet Friday night December 6th, and at the sale December 7th.

Sincerely,

Rocky Forseth

This is the 3rd heifer out of the A31A dam to have gotten selected for the MT Choice Sale.

Obviously H31F comes from a very functional, hard working, easy fleshing dam. Definitely the kind that is going to make bulls or build cows in your herd. The vet called all 7 of the Rymo/ DMS heifers bred early.

If you like numbers, even a little, you have to look at this broody female. Not only is she a top 1% API and TI but she is bred to a Top 1% bull, TJ Heisman. Imagine the genetic powerhouse from that combo! Dillon bought the dam out of the MT Choice sale and J34F was her 2nd calf.

J34F is extremely deep sided and long.

Montana’s Choice COMMERCIAL FEMALES

Lots 49-108: CHIPPEWA CREEK SIMMENTALS

Dale has been associated with the Simmental breed for may years. The Cox breeding program is high percent Simmental. Sired by almost exclusively Bulls of the Big Sky Bulls, these heifers are predominantly black, and should weigh 750 by sale day. As you sort through this set of heifers, I think it’ll be easy to see that these are heifers designed for folks that are serious about performance and profit. These cattle are summered at the top of the Snowy Mountains, weaned 45+ days, and prepared for the next level.

Lots 109-120: MILLER SIMMENTAL Dale and Paula have always contributed to this section of the sale. This year they have brought 12 head of predominately Purebred Simmental and come with EPDs upon request. Miller Simmental has earned a reputation for producing high performance, profit oriented genetics, and these heifers are no different. They are black and red hided, larger framed and heavy structured.
