When our good friend Carlos Guerra with La Muneca Cattle Co. first mentioned his idea of starting a new breed using the best of Simbra and Braunvieh genetics we were intrigued. The Braunvieh Association of America was interested in bringing this breed on line using its Certified Beef Builder program so that a herd book could be established and maintained. On our trip to La Muneca we were treated to a pasture full of top quality Simbra cows who had been bred to Braunvieh bulls. The calves were just unbelievable and exhibited all the great qualities that these two breeds are known for as far as muscling, bone, stamina, and growth. It was at that point that we decided to follow the Guerra family lead and pursue this. We are doing it a little different as we have a superior Braunvieh cow herd and chose what we thought were two outstanding Simbra herd sires, LMC Hero pictured above and LMC Stamina pictured in the center. To fit in our donor pasture to breed some of our outstanding herd sires to we chose Miss LMC 5P-208 and her heifer calf at side. Our intent is to use her in our donor program and to put as many calves out of this outstanding female on the ground in our Simbravieh program. Simbravieh is a perfect fit for our area and all of the southern United States. We view it as an opportunity to expand our sales to a more local market also providing what we think will become the new Queens of the Cow Country and the bull prospects are already exciting some of our bull customers who have been using our Braunvieh genetics in their cow herds and what to maintain a little ear for their heifer replacements. Look close below on the picture of a heifer that La Muneca allowed us to use on our site that they have produced. Cow power and function all around here.
