2012 has been a special year for us here at Acomb Valley Simmentals. With the purchase of a small acreage close to Minnedosa, we made our move late in September and a “For Sale” sign appeared on our Century Farm in the Minnedosa Valley.
A big THANK YOU to Richard Bramley of Pure Country Simmentals for showing us his confidence in our breeding program, with the purchase of 30 head carrying the FVA tattoo.
Reducing of herd numbers must continue for us. We now would like to offer our
Entire group of 20 bred heifers plus a group of bred cows; and of course there’s
always bulls in the bull pen.
