Welcome to our farm. We thank you for your visit and we hope you return often. Our website is updated regularly with new
pictures and information about our cattle and family.
We specialize in the production of purebred Simmental cattle. The
primary product that our farm produces for sale are
service age Simmental bulls that provide added
growth & performance to your cowherd.
Today's Simmental Cattle
Perhaps no other breed has made a greater effort to prioritize
economically important traits that impact herd profitability than
Simmental. Not only does Simmental deliver on their traditional
strengths of maternal and growth traits, but they are also the leader
among Continental breeds for end product value. This unique combination
of important maternal and terminal genetics makes Simmental a versatile
option for almost all types of cattle operations and industry segments.
HIGH COW FERTILITY = PROFIT
At Driggers Simmental Farm, we don't cull our cows. They cull
themselves. Our cows must do three important things to remain in our
herd year after year.
-
Get pregnant early in the breeding season
-
Calve unassisted and wean a valuable calf
-
Repeat steps 1 & 2
In our herd, fertility is the most important trait by a country mile.
Without a fertile cowherd, you won't stay in business long. When you
purchase a bull from Driggers Simmental Farm, you may rest assured
that they come from some of the most fertile and productive Simmental
genetics available anywhere.
It all starts with the cow!
We take great pride in our herd of purebred Simmental
cows. Meticulous record keeping along with ruthless selection pressure,
has resulted in excellent fertility, great udders and very strong
maternal traits in our herd.
We don't require our cows to win major shows or to
win beauty contests, but they must conceive each and every year, calve
unassisted and produce a profitable calf, all combined into a gentle,
easy to get along with package.

GW Lucky Man is proving out to be a high
growth bull with a moderate frame and the calving ease, carcass
traits and maternal strength to improve a group of cows in many
ways. As a real bonus, his calves are as gentle as they come. His
carcass value traits are proving him to be one of the top
combination carcass bulls in the breed. We used
him heavily in our herd in the 2007 & 2008 breeding seasons. We will
have several excellent quality sons for sale by Lucky Man by private
treaty in 2008.
