Editor’s Message Welcome to 2015!

It’s always fun to reflect on the year around Christmas and New Years.

Seems like every type of media does some kind of special year in review. I’m not going to go Erika Kenner into too much Editor detail, but rather point out that it was, in fact, an incredible year in the beef industry! With corn prices lower, the feed yards had more money to spend on live cattle, and with fewer head in the country, it definitely worked in the rancher’s favor.

To top it off, the consumer demand for good quality beef is still high!

The Simmental breed has also increased in popularity each year and due to the boots on the ground staff at American Simmental, we are now also gaining popularity in areas of the country

that have not historically used Simmental.

When looking back fifteen years, our breed had to make significant changes and the producers were not sure we would be around to see 2014. But instead of giving up, the breeders got together, discussed the problems and found solutions. Thankfully the Simmental breed is full of progressive thinkers who are not afraid to work with their neighbor and competitor to make sure the breed succeeds. Many Simmental breeders from the Dakotas were involved in those discussions and made the proper changes to ensure Simmental would be influential to the commercial industry in the future.

Some of the solutions involved working with other breed associations.

American Simmental Association has the best genetic evaluation system, thus calculate the data for the Red Angus, Gelbvieh, Maine Anjou, Chianina, Canadian Simmental, Canadian Angus, and Canadian Gelbvieh. ASA has also partnered with American Red Angus on a few conferences and trade shows and the North Dakota Simmental Association worked with North Dakota Red Angus to

share a sale date for their state sales, which was a huge success.

The American Simmental Association held the first Annual Educational Symposium in conjunction with the Fall ASA Board meeting in Bozeman, MT. Many North Dakota & South Dakota Simmental Association members attended the Symposium this year, where they learned the new technologies available to calculate genetic predictions. The future symposiums will be held in a different location each year decided through an application process. I encourage all ranchers to try to attend if possible.

There are always changes happening and everything is cyclical. But I know I am proud to be part of an organization that is so progressive, forward thinking and willing to work together. It is important to learn from the past and look ahead to where we want to be. So now that we finished the season of reflecting, let’s focus on what we’ve learned and make 2015 even better than 2014!

Sincerely,

Erika

2014 NDSA Commercial Cattlemen Award

December 12, 2014 - Mandan/Bismarck, ND

By Kevin Elliott, Clifford, ND This year’s Commercial Cattleman exemplifies the American cattle ranch and the Simmental philosophy as well as any! Jason and Jenny Zahn with the help of their two daughters Shelby and Lexi and their son Wyatt run the Zahn Ranch located west of Towner, near Denbigh.

Zahn’s utilize heterosis to attain their goal of producing high-quality carcass cattle, as well as top-notch mother cows by utilizing Simmental and Red Angus genetics. They calve beginning April 15th, and wean the last week of October. Generally, they background and sell their steers the first part of January. Many of the heifers are marketed to heifer developers and are then later sold as replacements.

The Zahn’s are not only good cattle producers, but their community involvement is also evident. If there is ever a neighbor or a friend who needs help, they are among the first to be there.

Driving school bus and serving on boards and committees are other ways they stay involved.

Zahn’s are agricultural advocates.

Jason served as president of the ND Stockmen’s Association. He was quoted as saying, “For many of us, ranching is more than a job; it’s a lifestyle that we enjoy sharing with our families, friends and neighbors, and many of us dream of passing our operations to the next generation.” As president, he led the charge and encouraged us to become better advocates for the beef community

by communicating a POSITIVE message with consumers, lawmakers and others.

He continues to work to strengthen the industry for future generations.

The Zahn’s have a passion for agriculture and the cattle business and are strong examples of how Simmental works in the commercial industry.

Commercial Cattlemen recipients Jason & Jenny Zahn, presented

by ND Simmental Secretary Kim Myers.

North Dakota Pioneer Award

December 12, 2014 - Mandan/Bismarck, ND

Written by David Doll, New Salem, ND Joe and Helen Doll, Doll Farms, New Salem, ND started raising Simmentals in 1968. Their ASA number is 292 and was the 7th one issued in ND, which is the longest active membership in ND.

The story behind the start of the breed at the doll Ranch is an interesting one. Joe had read of an upcoming meeting in Bismarck informing producers of a new breed. He would not be able to attend as a group of Charolais breeders had planned a trip to Montana for a sale. Helen took it upon herself to attend the meeting.

Dean Olson, an ABS rep at the time presented the meeting. They stressed the performance, easy doing, and the maternal strength of the breed. Helen told Joe about the meeting and strongly suggested that they start raising Simmental. The following spring they started AIing. Since money was tight at the time, AIing was used for a number of years. Bismarck was the first bull they used. While he was a good performance bull he was not the best for calving ease. There were a lot of hard lessons to learn in the early years.

Joe remembers in the early 1970’s, Dean Olson chartered a plane out of Bismarck full of ND and some SD breeders. They flew to Calgary and were 22 | SD SimmenTeller & ND Simmental Scene

able to look at a lot of the first imports.

This was an eye opening experience for all the breeders.

The first bull Joe purchased was from Monte Boren of Bismarck in 1976, and he was an actual import out of Munter. In 1971, Joe consigned both Charolais and Simmental bulls to the first all breeds bull test held in Bismarck. This was also the first annual sale for the ND Simmental Association.

The early 1980’s saw the introduction of the black Simmental. Joe and fellow breeder Jake Larson were some of the first to incorporate this into their programs. In 1981, Joe sold one of the first black heifers in the state sale going to Gary Meyer. She later became a productive donor cow for his operation.

Bulls and heifers were sold privately off the farm until they had their first sale in 1980. This year will mark the 35th bull and female sale for the Doll Ranch.

Joe would like to thank the NDSA and all of the first breeders that had the courage to start what has become a great breed. It is an honor to be part of a great association such as the ND Simmental Association.

The North Dakota Simmental Association appreciates all that Joe & Helen Doll have done for the breed

and honored them with the 2014 North Dakota Pioneer Award at the ND Simmental Banquet on December 12, 2014. Congratulations to the Doll’s.

December 12, 2014 - Mandan/Bismarck, ND

2014 SD Simmental Promoter of the Year

December 19, 2014 - Sioux Falls, SD

Every year the South Dakota Simmental Association recognizes a breeder for their dedication to the Simmental Breed. This year’s award recipient, Steve Reimer of R&R Cattle Company and his family, is certainly no stranger to the breed, with the ASA Member number 3969.

Steve was President of the American Simmental Association in 1995 while serving 2 consecutive 3-year terms. R&R genetics have always been breed-leading and were exemplified in 1986 with the purchase of Highwayman 33T. They have exhibited the champion pen of bulls at the NWSS and several Supreme Champions at the BHSS.

Steve’s sister, Lisa Johnson, ran the SD Simmental Magazine in the late 90’s and early 2000’s through CowMania Creations. She was always there to help out at SD Jr Simmental Association events

at the Summer Spotlight and SD State Fair.

A graduate of SDSU and a member of a very successful livestock Judging team, Steve is one of the most sought after and highly respected judges in the country and has judged almost every major show, while most recently having the honor to judge the Roll of Victory Angus Show at the North American International Livestock Expo in 2013. R&R Cattle Company is located near the Missouri River and Steve has become known as one of the best walleye guides in the area.

The SD Simmental Association recognizes one of the true pioneers of the breed, Steve Reimer and his family from R&R Cattle Co and the Lisa Johnson Family as the 2014 South Dakota Simmental Promoter of the Year.
