We are extremely proud of our extensive ET program and I can say with confidence that our donor pen is housing some of the elite genetics within their breeds. Expanding those genetics and utilizing some of the most respected sires in this breed which expands not only in our Simmental breed but the Angus and Hereford breeds as well.

Over the past several years we have focused on building one of the most fault free, diverse, and elite herd sire battery’s in the business.

Our goal is simple, to offer genetics that are timeless. What does this mean? Fundamental traits such as structural integrity, foot shape, fertility, and fleshing ease will simply never go out of style. We have focused on bridging the gap between form and function by breeding and acquiring cattle that are the building blocks to help us achieve this feat.

We invite you to stop by Nichols Cryo Genetics to view the bulls that are listed between the covers, as they stand on display right here in Maxwell, Iowa. Please feel free to reach out to anyone at JS to discuss the herd bulls, we would enjoy the opportunity to “talk cattle” with you!

CDI Innovator 325D was just what we were looking for when we pulled into the yard at Dawson, North Dakota.

Innovator has exceeded expectations when it comes to siring cattle with the real-world functionality yet having the extra bells and whistles that it takes to be a true sire of impact. Innovator is owned with our good friends of Wayward Hill Farm of Versailles, Kentucky. Innovator set himself apart because of his elite structural build, balanced silhouette, and overwhelmingly impressive data on paper. Innovator was the 2018 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Percentage Simmental Bull. The most notable son by Innovator would be CCS/ WHF Ol’ Son 48F, a junior herd sire for us that is following in the footsteps of his dominant sire. The first daughters of Innovator have entered the production phase of their careers for producers across North America and are being received with praise from the most discriminant.

Innovator is a homozygous polled and homozygous black three-quarter blood SimAngus stud that charts among the elite 10% of the breed for WW, top 10% YW, top 10% CW, top 10% YG, top 10% BF, top 4% REA, and top 10% TI. The perfect option to enhance the quality of your female base, both visually and on paper!

Summer strikes again! This time, we mated summer to the $105,000 W/C Double Down 5014E, a past high seller at Werning Cattle Company that was admired by all for his flawless build and athletic stride when he sold for an impressive six-figure hammer price. Double Up is backed by the foundation matriarch within our program, the immortal WHF Summer 365C. Summer was the most decorated champion during the 2017 show season, where she was most notably named Supreme Champion Female Overall Breeds at the 2017 Iowa State Fair, Supreme Champion Overall Breeds at the 2017 American Royal, and Grand Champion Simmental Female at the 2017 NAILE. Double Up is perfect in his lower joints, high tying in his neck attachment, clean chested, and transitions seamlessly from his shoulder into his forerib and center body, while offering unmatched balance and symmetry from the profile.

What sets Double Up into a league of his own? The answer is simple… it is his ability to combine so many unique pieces for a Purebred Simmental sire, yet coving the basics so well. Combine that with not one, but two shots of the great Miss Werning 534R, more commonly known as the dam of the highest dollar generating female in the history of the breed, Miss Werning KP 8543U, and you have yourself a true genetic masterpiece!

Ol’ Son is the result of arguably two of the most intriguing individuals to ever grace the pastures in Prairie City, Iowa combined into an athletic, loose made, attractive, breed enhancing package. Ol’ Son is sired by the National Western Stock Show Grand Champion, CDI Innovator 325D, a bull that has been described as one of the great combination sires to ever carry and ASA number. Innovator took “the hill” by storm when he was slapped Grand Champion Percentage Bull in 2018.

The same can be said about the dam of Ol’ Son, WHF Summer 365C. A dominant show heifer for Chesney Steenhoek, where she found the backdrop on the Nations largest stages. The 2017 championships of Summer would include this long, impressive list: Division Champion NWSS, Reserve Supreme Iowa Beef Expo, Champion Simmental Female Iowa State Fair Open Show, Supreme Female American Royal Livestock Show and Champion Simmental Female NAILE Open Show, not to mention several other victories. Ol’ Son was selected by XTB Cattle Co. of Burleson, Texas. Ol’ Son sired a pair of flush mate sisters out of Dairy Queen that commanded $25,000 and $22,000 respectively. Maternal sisters to Ol’ Son have averaged well over $16,000 to date, and that list continues to grow. Use Ol’ Son to add length, extension, genuine structural integrity, and a look that is second to none!

The true definition of POWER in the blood.

Keepin It 90 is the “new kid” on the block in the herd sire battery at JS Simmental. The feature, form, and function that he offers puts him on the short list of must use sires to utilize! His dam, CLRS Dairy Queen is the purebred donor female that we selected from the Clear Springs program of Starbuck, MN. She is the absolute rare blend of ideal phenotype and curve bending genetic markers on paper.

Keepin It 90 is sired by Ol’ Son, the Innovator x Summer stud working for XTB Cattle in Texas. A full sister to Keepin It 90 is JS Dairy Queen 29H, the popular American Royal and NAILE Division Champion that was a featured lot in the 2020 JS Midwest Made Elite Female Sale. Two full sister sisters that sold as Lot 9A and 9B in December commanded hammer prices of $25,000 and $22,000 respectively. Five Dairy Queen daughters averaged nearly $17,000 in the Midwest Made Elite Female Sale. Countless other maternal sisters have commanded a premium and found success at the highest levels of exhibition.

Squareness of build, flexibility, and a futuristic look of quality is guaranteed with the incorporation of Keepin It 90 in your breeding program!

JBSF Logic 5E combines the influence of two of the most dominant matriarchs in the history of the Simmental breed. The sire of Logic, W/C Relentless 32C, is an own son of the $8 Million producing Miss Werning KP 8543U. Logic is a direct son of Brooks Steel Magnolia X57. Steel Magnolia X57 has been able to consistently generate, regardless of the mating situation she is complimented with. In her most recent demonstration of superior generating capability, she was paired with W/C Relentless 32C, this eventuated in the highest grossing flush in Bloomberg Cattle history. JBSF Logic 5E is a resident herd sire at JS Simmentals. The sisters occupied pens at the country’s most distinguished show barns such as the Guyer’s, Sullivan’s, Walkers and Miller’s. The Guyer female was selected as the Champion Simmental Female at both the North American and the National Junior Classic, along with the Supreme Champion Female banner at the 2019 Illinois State Fair. Another notable sister to Logic is JBSF Proud Mary, the dominant show heifer that was purchased by the Sullivan Family in the Fall of 2015 for $100,000. Mary was the Grand Champion Purebred Simmental Female at the 2016 North American Livestock Exposition, American Junior Simmental Classic and Supreme Overall 4-H Female title at the coveted 2016 Iowa State Fair. Steel Magnolia will eternally be regarded as one of the most dominate producers of high caliber Simmental seedstock of her generation. She is a member of a small but elite club of females that set the foundations early in this past decade to shine the spotlight on the Simmental breed.

Revival is a game changer in the cattle industry! His “out of this world” front end, overall style and design, combined with soundness and muscle makes him a must use in many facets of the beef business. Revival became the record high selling bull at Denver’s “The One” Simmental Sale, commanding $160,000.

He is a stunning Homozygous black and Homozygous polled Purebred that can be identified throughout several pedigrees that support some of the most influential individuals within the business.

Sure Bet continues to prove the aged old saying that by the time we figure out the next legendary maternal sire in this business, they are long gone. Here is a prime example of a bull that has made a timeless impact on the industry. JS Sure Bet 4T can be identified without countless pedigrees throughout the industry. Some of his most notable sons would include W/C Cash In 43B, the striking baldy stud that was the high selling aged bull at the 2016 Werning Cattle Company Bull Sale and the late JSSC Wide Body 090W. Wide Body has experienced as much success on a National level as any other sire relative to use than any other sire. Wide Body sired the $75,000 high selling heifer for Foster Bros. Farms in Texas that went on to be Grand Champion in San Antonio.

Sure Bet has recorded well over 500 progeny with the American Simmental Association, and his impact continues to be everlasting. JS Sure Bet 4T’s most recent accolade would be W/C Angel 9005G, the $60,000 half-interest bred heifer that was “the talk” of the Spring 2021 sale season when it came to bred heifers that had a chance to be the next big matron of impact within the business. 9005G was admired by cattlemen from coast to coast and border to border. Sure Bet is without a doubt a five-star ranked maternal sire option that we strongly recommend if your objective is to create a set of females that will leave a legacy.

Follow Me is sired by C&C McKinley 3000 EXAR and from the prolific Dunk-W Maxine 505C donor for Gateway Genetics. He was bred in the Gateway Genetics program at Pierce, Nebraska and was promoted at the National Western Stock Show in “The Yards” where Jason Minnaert and Jay Steenhoek found him as a calf and purchased this rising star before the day was over. Follow Me was one of the most talked about bulls in Denver, period!

Fast forward three years and there is no question that the influence Gateway Follow Me F163 has had on the business has become overwhelming. The basic build, flawless structural base, stoutness of bone, boldness of his rib design, and unparalleled look of quality is what has made Follow Me so popular among not only Angus breeders focused on generating elite show heifers, but also those in the business of producing high caliber composite show heifers. The added hair quality on top of the functionality and productiveness that this mating has generated is absolutely unbelievable!
