The Ainsworth family of the Lazy S Ranch are pioneers of the Red & Black Simmental breed here in Canada. We purchased our first Red Factor Simmental Females in 1983 and been adding them every since. Our Simmental cow herd now is all red and black.

We've been in the purebred Simmental business for 40 years and registered Angus cattle for 14 years. Our cattle ranching operation has grown to 1,100 cows calving annually! The seedstock cow herd is managed under similar conditions as our commercial cow-calf customers manage their own herds. Calves are raised on milk and Grass NO CREEP FEED, after weaning cows run out on regrowth hay fields then on to swath grazing until about Mid January. Simmental & Angus cows are all wintered together, our cows gain weight swath grazing with no grain or supplemental feed, and come in for calving in February in good shape.

We love the Black and Red Factor cattle for their hardiness and low management traits. The calves get up at birth and suck. The pigmentation on udders, feet, eyes, and uniformity in your calves in the fall reap great returns. Weaning weights & carcass traitss are outstanding.
