Bench Y Simmental Ranch

Bench Y Simmental Ranch specializes in Simmental cattle in Lyman, Wyoming, in southwestern Wyoming near Evanston. The ranch has over thirty years of dedicated breeding experience and maintains full membership in the American Simmental Association with routine genetic and hoof health testing.

Calves are raised on wide-open pastures and receive early handling to foster calm temperaments. Bench Y’s established bloodlines include several regional show champions, and its pasture-based approach highlights maternal strength, feed efficiency, and growth performance. Their family-owned ranch encompasses over 1,200 acres of upland prairie and creekside meadows, where cattle graze alongside native sagebrush and wild grasses.

Veterinary health protocols are updated annually in collaboration with local vets to monitor herd well-being. Facilities include sheltered, spacious feeding areas and rotational grazing paddocks to encourage natural foraging. Operations emphasize low-stress handling, transparent records, and consistent herd improvement across generations.
