Van Engen Simmentals

We create herd sires that will add pounds to your calf crop and longevity to your Angus / Hereford cow base . Heterosis is a powerful tool. We believe Simmental cattle are the answer to help commercial cattlemen capitalize on outcross genetics. When you add heterosis to your cow base you are adding hybrid vigor that adds longevity and adds calf weight at wean. 

How do you get the advantage?

• When you crossbreed (add Simmental genetics) you add heterozygosity across the genome and lessens the chance of trait dominance for diminished performance= hybrid vigor
