Editor’s Message
Think Spring everyone! We can get through this. It’s just around the corner, I’m
sure!
Some have started calving and some are gearing up, so hopefully Mother Nature
will cooperate. At least the price of beef is high! So the beef industry has a lot to
look forward to. Consumers still want to eat beef even though the price is high
because we have made a nutritious and delicious product. Cattle producers have
improved the quality and consistency so much through the years, and it is due to
careful genetic selection. Ranchers are paying attention to the science and it has
payed off.
Erika Kenner
Editor
The North Dakota and South Dakota Simmental Associations work hard each year
to provide promotional support to their members. The State Association sales were
successful and they have both changed their dates for next year, so please take note
of the new dates and plan to participate in 2014!
Thank you to all the advertisers this past year. This February issue is the last issue
until the fall issue in November, and I truly appreciate all the support. The ND
Scene/SD SimmenTeller is very well respected because of you.

ND Pioneer Award
By: Chris Nicholson
The 2013 North Dakota Simmental Board of
Directors awarded the 2013 Pioneer Award to Arlyn
Schmidt, 7N Ranch, Medina, ND, at the North
Dakota Annual Banquet on December 27, 2013, in
Bismarck, ND.
Schmidt has been in the seed stock business for
quite some time. His operation started in 1965 as a
commercial Hereford cow/calf program. Early in
the 1970s, the herd was transitioned into a seed stock
operation through exclusive AI breeding to fullblood
and purebred Simmental sires. Fleckvieh bulls were
the predominant influence through the first 2 decades
with a transition to solid red and black Simmentals in
the 1990s. In 1994, a select portion of the cow base
was bred to Red Angus bulls and have continued to
the present day herd of 50% Purebred Simmental
and 50% Red Angus cows.
Bulls were marketed private treaty off the farm
until 1980 when they had their first auction at
Napoleon Livestock. The 7N Simmental Ranch
annual sale was held at Napoleon for 20 years. Then
in 2000, the sale was moved to the ranch after they
built their own sale facility.
Currently their production sale is held on the 2nd
Monday in March at the ranch with this year being
their 35th Sale. Each year, 80 bulls are marketed to a

Schmidt is also still very actively involved and
has enjoyed his 35 years as a Medina Lions Member
and Medina American Legion Member.
In his younger years, 1953 to be exact, he was
a charter member for the Medina FFA, where he
competed in livestock judging; and as a senior in
high school, earned a gold at the National FFA
Convention in Kansas City while representing
North Dakota.
He also served in the military for 26 months and
was stationed in Iran. The highlight of his military

family’s purebred Simmental operation, while Dennis
and Russ are in charge of the commercial operation.
Dennis says they have stuck with raising
Simmental cattle because they have worked really
well for them. His advice to those interested in raising
Simmental cattle is to, “Buy the good ones!” When
purchasing bulls for their commercial herd along
with being really picky, Kunkels spend a lot of time
deciding which bulls to buy, and look closely at the
weaning weights of the bulls and
bloodlines.
Along with carefully selecting
their own breeding stock, Dennis
and Russ feel it’s important to help
out the younger generations that
are starting to build up their own
operations. “It’s important to help
out some of these younger guys,”
said Dennis.
With four generations living on
the Kunkel ranch, Dennis and Russ
want to have an operation that they
can leave to their families and that
will support the generations to come.

Promoter of the Year
By: Erika Kenner
The North Dakota Simmental Association awarded
Doug Bichler, Linton, ND, with the Promoter of
the Year Award at the ND Simmental banquet on
December 27, 2013 in Bismarck, ND.
Doug Bichler promotes Simmental wherever he
goes. Just one conversation with him makes a person
realize how passionate he is about the cattle industry,
especially the Simmental breed.
He learned by working with his father on their
family’s ranch at Linton, ND. Growing up, they
always had Simmental influence in their commercial
herd, and Doug always appreciated the maternal
ability and the performance of their Simmental
cows. While in high school, at 16 years of age, he
purchased his first purebred cows from Andy Wald,
and by 2001, he was selling bulls private treaty off
the farm.
After graduating NDSU in 2002, he took a job
with extension in Carson, ND. In 2005, he was able
to move to the Emmons County extension office in
Linton where he was able to be on the ranch every
day as well. By moving home, it made it easier for
him to manage the cattle himself which prompted
him to start his bull sale at the Linton Livestock
Barn in 2006. This year will mark his 9th Annual
Production Sale, and he also has a
female sale in the Fall each year.
Doug has been very active with
the youth in Emmons County
and has always helped with the
4-H Livestock Judging where he is
currently the coach. He also gives his
nephew many opportunities to learn
the cattle business by letting him
have a few head of cows at the ranch
and has taken him to many junior
shows, including the Junior Regional
Shows when possible.
During his years on the ND
Simmental Board, he was very active
and always volunteered to help.
The year the ND State Fair was

fortunate to have members like Doug who want to

opportunity to show their heifers they had purchased
cattle and it’s members.
for that show. He always went above and beyond his
required responsibilities while on the Board.

Jeff Thomas, ND Classic Sale
Manager, works many hours to
put the sale together.
North Dakota members of the ASA Board,
Kevin Thompson and Roger Finke. Thank you
for your service to our region!
There was a good crowd on hand for the ND
Annual Simmental Banquet.
Tessa Keller recited her speech on the
health benefits of beef that won her a
gold at FFA District Leadership.
Susan Finke and Lynette Thompson - are
they texting each other?!
The genetics represented in this years sale are some
of the best in the breed and offer outstanding
growth while maintaining excellent calving ease.
Most of these bulls are outcrosses to many
of the popular bloodlines and give you the
opportunity to upgrade your genetic base.
13th Annual
Uppin’ The Ante
We may not have the highest numbers out
there but the quality of this years offering
is the best to date and will provide you
the cow calf operator with a tremendous
opportunity to enhance not only your
genetics but your bottom line.
