Nelson Livestock Company is a family ranch operation run by Warren, Tom and Renee and their sons Nathan and Brent and Kim, along with their children, Taylen, Vallie, Gavin and Reggie. Nelson Livestock Company operated on land homesteaded in 1909 by our great grandparents. In 1970, our first Simmental calves were born from a mostly black white-faced herd and that herd evolved into a seedstock operation that is run as closely to a commercial operation as possible. In the mid-1990s we added purebred Angus to offer our customers more options. Our breeding sire selection consists of big spread bulls (minus birth weight to high growth) that are medium framed but have that explosive growth after birth. These functional cattle are deep, thick, with growth and do-ability to work in any environment.

Nelson Livestock Company's breeding program stresses maternal efficiency though selecting for high fertility and calving ease while maintaining moderate sized cattle with high efficiency. This disciplined search for the A.I. sires and herd bulls results in a very efficient program that will add value to your replacement females and feeder cattle. We do invite you to contact us for more information or stop in for a herd visit to see for yourself.

Nelson Livestock Company's breeding program offers options and solutions as we offer Americanized Black and Red Simmentals, Red and Black SimAngus and Purebred Black Angus cattle that are performance selected. Performance selected using EPDs, ratios, linear measurements, planned mating, carcass testing and ultrasounding to help increase overall beef production. Nelson Livestock Simmentals will provide you with muscle, high cutability, growth, fertility, maternal power and calving ease that will move them to be the continental breed of choice. Nelson Livestock Angus will provide the hardiness, marbling, good females and market acceptability.

Nelson Livestock SimAngus are a combination of Simmental and Angus from a well planned crossbreeding program. They will increase pounds of calf versus cow exposed by 20%. Using a crossbred cow will give you 30% more lifetime production. Crossbreeding utilizing hererosis is the only free lunch in the cattle industry.

Nelson Livestock Company's offering of black and red Simmentals and SimAngus plus a selected group of Angus provides the options and solutions of developing your program to straight breed or giving you the option to utilize heterosis.
