M D Simmentals

M D Simmentals breeds Simmental cattle in Homer, MI, in Calhoun County near Battle Creek. It follows guidelines from the American Simmental Association for genetic evaluation and health screening to support robust herds.

Calves spend their early weeks on pasture alongside mature cows under a rotational grazing plan that encourages strong immunity and gentle temperaments. Daily handling through routine chores helps socialize young cattle and familiarizes them with people before transport. Its balanced focus on maternal traits and growth performance has earned positive comments for consistency and reliability.

Rooted in regional ranching traditions, the operation balances modern practices with hands-on experience while using record-keeping and performance data to guide selection. Visitors often remark on the calm atmosphere and well-kept facilities that reflect careful daily care. Animals are suited to both pasture-focused and feedlot finishing, providing flexibility for a range of production goals.
