Ekstrum Simmentals is
a family operation located south of Kimball, SD. My Uncles Richard
and Duane with my father John started AIing and performance testing
cattle in the early 60s. They started breeding Simmental genetics in
1970. Today the operating consists of my father John and me (Clay).
In the 80s we used and
bought many sires out of Canada that were Fleck influenced. Focusing
on 6.5-7 frame, high maternal, and performance. In the early 90’s we
started using Red Angus to give the cattle a more solid color
pattern. We still selected the same traits for the Red Angus as we do
for the Simmental. |
