Lover Boy’s Genetic Line

We went to the Denver Stockshow and wanted to buy the Simmental Purebred we liked the best. We looked at about all of them there. There are so many bulls of all breeds that have bad feet and a lot of people aren’t paying any attention to it. Their hooves are either too small or many of them have outside back toes that curl under or else they toe out on front. We have tried to watch this very closely because our cows have to walk and trail the year around as many of yours do. We finally found one at the last minute. He looked good every place you looked at him with no holes in him and the best feet we had seen on any bull in the show. We had to catch a plane to go home and we gave them a check for $25,000 for him about 3 or 4 minutes before he was to show and left for the airport. HE WAS PICKED GRAND CHAMPION SIMMENTAL OF THE SHOW! He is one of the deepest made bold ribbed Simmentals we have encountered.

ZEIS REAL STEEL A23

This fancy ½ blood was Grand Champion Simmental bull wherever shown at the Nebraska State Fair, Iowa State Fair, The American Royal, Kansas City, North American in Louisville, and the greatest of all stock shows the National Western in Denver. He’s about perfect in his phenotype. My good friend Stan Sears from California and I were watching them judge the show and when he won we decided to buy him. He is by Steel Force out of an OCC Legend daughter. He had a 64# birth weight so we bred him to quite a few heifers. He cost us $15,000. He really held his flesh well after we turned him out to breed.

Y1 UTAH

We consider this bull one of the best we have ever raised. I am as critical a bull buyer as there is in the country and there isn’t a single thing I don’t like about Utah. He has perfect phenotype every place you look at him. I don’t like high tailed. I want them square over the tail head and he is. We consider his dam to be the perfect built, moderate sized cow and as pretty and good as any cow we own. His beautifully designed maternal grand dam was a stellar $7,700 feature in our sale that sold to Greg Kroupa of White Lake, SD. Utah has experienced great success in our program and at Wernings in Emery, SD with several calves selling for over $15,000. A daughter of his was crowned Champion at the West Virginia State Fair.
