Traxinger Simmental will host their annual sale on February 12th at 1:PM.
Please accept this as your personal invitation to join us that day to talk cattle, BS and just enjoy the gathering of fellow cattlemen. Yes, its bull sale for us, but in our busy world it’s also a time to see old friends and to make new ones.
This year’s offering is similar to other years. Again we’ll offer 50 bulls reds and black, most are homo-polled and blks are all tested for homo black too. Throughout the years we have NEVER increased the number of bulls in our offering, even though we have grown our cow herd. Simple answer—it creates higher quality bulls for your selection.
This year we have tested every bull through the ASA Calf Crop Genomics program with DNA. The GGP-LD genomics test verifies parentage and gives you enhanced EPD’s. What this means is through the DNA they can improve the accuracy on certain traits. According to ASA it’s like having 10 to 25 calves out of that bull already. It has its good points and breeders in general have started to demand that they be DNA.
I’ve said this the last 3 years that we need to cut back and figure out a way to trim the number of cows we run. I’m passionate about our cow herd which is a life time (54 yrs breeding Simmental) in the making. But I also realize my age is preventing me from going hard and doing all the physical work necessary. My family has filled those spaces and have been great. They have sacrificed their time on weekends and holidays to work cattle, well that gets old dad, yes it does. Our thoughts are to sell down on cows this fall by private treaty. So, if interested in our herd, please contact us.
Remember--Feb.12th 1PM at the farm for our 2025 bull sale. Stop in and view the bull before the sale.
DV Auction will assist us and their support group can be reached at 402-316-5460. If you have any questions please visit with them prior to the sale and familiarize yourself with the process. This does require high speed internet.
We need to thank all those people who have been customers, friends, neighbors or a part of our lives in some form or another. The cattle are the connection but the friendships that we have made in our lifetime are the GREAT REWARDS of doing this.
Thank-You

We have been long time buyers at Traxinger Simmental’s annual bull sale. Mike’s goal is never just to sell us a bull, but to add pounds to our calves at the sale barn.He also encouraged us to retain more of our heifers to retain some of the genetics in our female herd from the bulls we bought.
Buying bulls from Traxinger Simmental has resulted in our calves’ weaning weights and rate of gains significantly increasing! We started calving on April 4, 2024 and sold our calves on December 16, 2024. The calves did not have any implants. They were a pot load with an average 226 days, weighing 841 lbs.

Homo-Polled Homo-Black. One of the several ET calves out of Art Miss E720. With ET calves they stand alone with no ratios to litter mates. Lots M70 M67, M62, M56, and M51 are all litter mates. ET calves can very in type and kind and this flush shows that. M71 is a calf that when pressed can get nervous, not bad but noticable.
We have been buying bulls from the Traxinger Family for approximately 13 years. Every year the calf quality continues to improve. The calves have the frame, length, and gainability, which are very important factors in a commercial herd like ours. We started calving on April 1, 2024 and sold our calves on January 4, 2025. We sold 49 steers and 44 were sold in one group weighing 845 lbs. each. We sold 54 heifers and 45 were sold in one group weighing 771 lbs. each. Uniformity is key in any operation, but it is especially important in ours. What was more gratifying than the market price for the calves was the three order buyers that came up to me after the calves sold and commented how nice the calves were. It is nice to be reassured that the calves we are selling and the genetics we are using are being acknowledged.

Homo-Polled Nondilutor. A Kentrell calf tracing back to another great cow that Michael owns, the D603. The dam to M37 (Trax’s Miss Delta G962) doesn’t take a back seat either with ratios of BW 102 WW112 YW 110 and that’s on 4 calves. Added feature is this guy is as dark red as you can get them and he ratioed 108 WW at 805lbs.

TRAXS MISS P BEEF D603
Hetero-Polled Nondilutor. EPD traits with 10 in the top 25%, got to use them as a tool for selection but this calf still has to grab your attention. The M34 calf does that, dark cherry red with a great profile, deep thick and soggy. Again a dam that’s making some waves in our program with impressive ratios of BW 101, WW 112 and YW of 108. I’m at the age where these cows should go but when females like these appear I can’t wait to see what she does next year.

MISS TRAXS B449
Homo-Polled Hetro-Black. BWF calf that just keeps getting better. Just walked out in the pen to look for another calf and this guy caught my eye. Just enough white on his face to grab ya, but study his hind quarter and top line and you’ll really appreciate him. I know he’s hetro blk but just imagine if he is used on a handful of hetro blk cows and you create a rwf. He’s flashy enough to create offspring that will be noticed. His dam has done well with ratios of BW 94, 102 WW and 105 YW.

MISS TRAX U817
Homo-Polled Homo-Black. I believe he is the only Rode’s Powerhouse calf in the sale. We used Powerhouse mainly to get more performance. His dam, Miss Art E720 is the mother to most of the black ET calves in the sale. Powerhouse himself had an Adj of 901 lbs and YW of 1444 and at that time this was E720 was a first calf heifer. M27 himself looks a lot like Powerhouse. His Black Diamond dam has ratios of BW 101 WW 103 YW 105 and that’s on 8 calves. Power on both sides of the young guy.

TRAXS BLK DIAMOND C564
Homo-Polled Homo-Black. We bought a Genesis son out of Nate Rubys great Linda cow. He was used as clean-up after AI so didn’t many calves. The few calves we have are good. This is the youngest calf in the sale 4/29/2024, there is a reason we left him as a bull. He’s maturing into a big fellow and his performance is impressive. His WW 869 lbs. with a ratio of 116, he ranked 5th out of 62 in his group. His dam has done her job too with ratios of WW 107, YW 105, that’s how we like them.
