Flores Simmentals

Flores Simmentals is a Simmental cattle breeder in Cedar, MI, working in Leelanau County near Traverse City. The operation follows guidelines from relevant cattle associations and conducts regular comprehensive health screening on breeding stock. Cattle are registered with the American Simmental Association, and females undergo fertility and genetic evaluations before joining the breeding herd.

Calves are raised on open pastures with access to shelters, receiving hands-on handling from team members to support calm temperaments. Rotational grazing methods help protect soil, support native plant diversity and ensure consistent nutrition across seasons.

The farm’s herd stems from foundation bloodlines selected for balanced structure, efficient growth and maternal traits. Flores Simmentals also participates in local livestock exhibitions, sharing insights on pasture management and herd health. Owners draw on decades of family farming experience to maintain a welcoming environment for both cattle and visitors.
