Commercial Simmental Breeders Of The Year

Triple M P Farm
Murray & Patti Holt
 
Located 11 miles northeast of Sangudo we farm about 2000 acres. The farm is a 3rd Generation farm homesteaded in 1917. Our farm is a cow/calf background operation, running 300 Simmental X Angus cows. The first calf heifers are bred Angus and Simmental bulls are used on the mature cows. Our calves are backgrounded to around 900 pounds and usually put up for bid on the farm. Simmental bulls have been used for over the 30 years, and have been bought from D Bar C, Lazy S, Tri-Add, and CRM Simmentals. Until recent years we also had a good market selling bred heifers. We now have two calving groups, the first group calves in March and the second group in May. The heifers are sold as heavy feeders or the finished light heifers go to grass.

Also, been a board member of Connor Creek Grazing for 18 years and a Director with Pembina Forage for 15 years. Chairman of Sangudo Rodeo for several years too.
