Sim-Angus Genetics

My wife, Jenny and our three children Keighly, Jimmy and Jacob have devoted our lives to making our own herds and the cattle we’ve managed for others the best they can be. I believe it’s our calling as cattlemen and cattlewomen to do everything we can to improve the cattle industry through a blend of proper management, genetics, and the utilization of science. Through our years of experience in cattle ranching and ranch management, we’ve learned to identify what breed composition, phenotype, and EPD profile are optimum for any specific environment to produce the highest value product at a sustainable cost. We’ve used the parameters of DNA, strategic nutrition programs, and actual carcass evaluation, while never losing sight of practicality and functionality. Before every critical decision, I ask myself, “Will this decision help my customers to succeed, no matter what sector of the beef industry that we were associated with at the time?” 

Our diverse experience includes management of large commercial herds in excess 12,000 cows to smaller, yet very cutting-edge seed-stock operations of 500 head. I feel that our experience brings a lot to the table; but without a doubt and most importantly, we always take something away that increases our knowledge of and passion for this great industry. 

Today, Jenny and I are blessed to call Northern Wyoming home and we cherish the western life-style that we live and breathe, day-in and day-out. Our passion for the cattle industry continues to grow and thrive as we’re able to grow our Sim-Angus cow-herd and do so alongside our oldest son Jimmy and his wife, ShayLe. We are thankful to sell our bulls in the Big Country Genetics Bull Sale (bigcountrygenetics.com), and private-treaty various female groups throughout the year. We feel as though we are better able to serve our customers we are doing life alongside them and their operations.

We look forward to serving you and helping to move the needle on your ranching enterprise as we personally know and intricately understand the complexities of today’s ever-changing world.
