Stand Strong. Simmental.

American Simmental Association proudly introduces a new video series, titled “Stand Strong. Simmental.” We’ll share a video feature every Sunday, exploring how Simmental and SimGenetics help families raise profitable herds that stand the test of time.  Watch, enjoy and share with friends!
