It's sale time!!! Please join us Saturday, April 26, 2025 at 12:30 PM at the farm for an auction of top end genetics. The 55+ lots consists of black, red and blaze-face, purebred Simmental and SimAngus cattle.
This herd was one of the first in Virginia, with American Simmental Association member number 3645, Holmans Creek Farm. My father and uncle started grading up to purebreds in the early 1970's. In 1976 Dad gave me an orphan heifer calf and I was in high cotton! The first four years she had bull calves, so my herd didn't progress rapidly. Then I was given the opportunity to purchase heifers from those bound for the stockyard. From there, with perseverance, hard work and faith, my herd developed. By the early 1980's Holmans Creek Farm no longer raised registered cattle, but Shenandoah Valley Simmentals did. I'd found my passion.
That's a long story, but it's shared to say that this herd, and especially the females, have been bred for many, many years with a purpose. They're the most correct, easy-keeping, good-natured, functional and trouble-free mamas that I know how to breed. The females in this offering are my "keepers," as I've made the difficult decision to downsize the spring-calving herd.
The bulls are stout, phenotypically correct long yearlings and yearlings with excellent EPDs. These bulls have been raised in Virginia range conditions and have passed a complete breeding soundness examination.
Catalogs will not be mailed but will be available prior to sale day at the farm. The catalog and videos will be on-line next week.
Contact me if you have any questions and come see the offering that we're proud to call "The Keepin' Kind!"
