Olinger Simmentals

Olinger Simmentals raises Simmental cattle in Caledonia, MN, serving southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. The family-owned farm has been registered with the American Simmental Association for over a decade and maintains regular health screenings for genetic traits, structural soundness and disease prevention. Animals graze on rotational pastures at all life stages and are accustomed to daily handling to foster calm disposition, socialization and ease of management. Calving takes place each spring in covered lots with access to fresh water and high-quality hay to support newborn calves.

Breeding decisions are guided by performance data and maternal traits, focusing on structural soundness and feed efficiency. Year-round access to shelter and mineral supplementation helps stock reach uniform growth milestones. The herd comprises both first-calf heifers and proven dams to balance fertility and calf vigor. Customers often note the consistent weaning weights, genetic uniformity and gentle temperament of the cattle.
