8 | MICHIGAN SIMMENTAL ASSOCIATION

Dear Fellow Simmental Breeders and Enthusiast, In this directory you will find fellow cattlemen, cattlewomen and friends of the industry that are committed to the Simmental breed and the Michigan agricultural industry. Simmental cattle has seen tremendous improvements and has landed itself as a cornerstone breed for the U.S. producer.

As an association, we host an annual field day filled with education events, lunch and our annual member meeting. For our youth wanting to get involved within the Simmental breed, the Michigan Junior Simmental Association is a great place to start.

From helping kids go to Junior Nationals to the Michigan Show Points Program and the Heifer Futurity competition, the MJSA is committed to supporting our youth and getting them engaged in the Simmental breed.

For our adults, the MSA is involved in multiple sales throughout the year, including our annual Fall Consignment Sale, the Michigan Beef Expo and the MCA Bull Test. These events, along with the producers listed in this directory, is a great way to see what the Simmental breed has to offer.

Sincerely, Jeff Bluemer Michigan Simmental Association President

Maternal value comes FIRST

Gene�cs customers deserve profit improvement with no surprises when it comes to performance and convenience.

All ca�le must be fer�le, calve easily, grow fast and efficiently and provide product value up and down the beef chain.

Longevity traits like feet, udders, disposi�on are also non-nego�able.

If you aren’t ge�ng all of that, and more, from your seedstock provider, give us a call. You really do deserve to have it ALL. TJ 8T, ASA# 2399540 SimAngus™ Newest donor addition from Triangle J Ranch.
