About Grinalta Farms

Welcome to Grinalta Farms. Our family run operation has been established since 1971. We mix farm cattle, horses and grain. Our horses are all registered Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds and warm bloods. The majority of our grain land produces livestock feed. We raise registered border collie dogs as well. Our dogs are bred from imported stock that are the best working bloodlines in the world. They are the farmhands that can't be replaced!

We have been established Simmental breeders since 1971 (CSA #1938) breeding approximately 200 head of registered Simmentals. We have always believed in thick, moderate, easy fleshing cattle. FLECKVIEH HAS ALWAYS BEEN OUR CHOICE. In the 1970's, we bred 9 different breeds at one time, under the same management it was easy to make comparisons. FLECKVIEH came out on top and eventually we dispersed all the other breeds and have bred Simmental exclusively ever since.

Grinalta Farms’ main focus is on breeding top quality Simmental cattle. Our program is built upon a Fullblood and Purebred base. Our Fullbloods roots back to our early 1971 German import cow, Fraulein and our 1972 Austrian import, Ossi Gundi. Our Fullblood herd is Full Fleckvieh or high percentage Fleckvieh. All our herdbulls used on the Fullbloods are Full Fleckvieh or polled Full Fleckvieh. Our purebred cattle are based from a Fleckvieh root and now are bred to popular black and red bulls of the breed.
In 1993, we were fortunate to find the only known mutation polled Full Fleckvieh cow in North Amercia, EDC Poll Magnum 1B. We feel this cow and her offspring are revolutionizing the polled industry. We now put a lot of emphasis and energy on our polled program.

Grinalta Farms sells consistently 30+ yearling bulls every spring, as well as a number of 2 year olds. Our goal is to produce functional efficient and practical cattle. Based on calving ease, moderate sized, easy fleshing, and minimal management. Recognizing the need of today's industry.
