Our Story

Sims Cattle Company is a family owned and operated business located in the nearly pristine Rock Creek Valley of southeast Wyoming.  There have been 5 generations of Sims' living on this land!  The ranch runs a closed herd of around 700 head of Angus/Simmental/Gelbvieh cross bred cows and 300 yearlings on 26,000 acres of mostly upland pasture.

We only have one crop to harvest, sunlight.  All of our animals are simply a vehicle that allows us to market our crop by taking an unusable protein source to humans (forage grown with sunlight) and turning it into edible meat. Because sunlight transformed into forage is our only profit driver, the health of our resources are critical to the success of the operation.  Much of our management is guided by Allan Savory's decision making process, including high intensity-short duration grazing. We currently have over 140 pastures that cattle are rotated through from 1 to 14 days at a time.  Our pastures are only grazed once per growing season, with pastures receiving as much as 800 days of recovery between grazing events.
