"There is little question that cowherd fertility/longevity is the most important economic function in the beef cattle business.  We know that there are many ways to improve a cow's environment that will enhance longevity (increase supplementation, decrease stocking rates, etc.)--most of which increase costs.  If we can improve longevity via genetics, however, its like a free lunch--no... make that a free 4 course meal!" Dr. Jerry Lipsey, Ph.D Executive Vice President American Simmental Association

Driggers Simmental Cattle are selected for . . .

• Calving Ease, moderate mature size and carcass value
• Optimum growth and milk competitive with other breeds from an across breed standpoint
• Non-measured longevity and convenience traits, such as breeding soundness, clean sheaths, correct udders, sound structure and fleshing ability.

Mature Cowherd Dispersal

After careful thought and consideration, Driggers Simmental Farm has decided to disperse our mature cowherd in 2009 by private treaty. These cows are some of the very best that you will find anywhere in the United States and are the result of 20 years of very intensive selection pressure for ease of fertility, calving ease, fast growth and distinct carcass value.

Now is the time to take advantage of the fruits of a breeding program that has produced numerous test station winners and that has sent dozens of top commercial bulls into progressive breeding programs all over the southeast.

We are not getting out of the cattle business as we retained most of the 2007 heifers that were born and will also be retaining most of the heifer calves that will be weaned later this spring.

We will provide as much detailed information on all our mature cows as possible, so that you can make an informed decision on your purchase. Please look over the data and let us know if you need more information or want to make a purchase. We are pricing the cows as a group at a significant savings over individual pricing. For someone that is interested in only a few select cows, we also are pricing each cow at a very modest price, when quality is considered.
