About us
Lazy E Simmentals
I should probably start by introducing our little family. Randi and I (Austin Burton) are doing our best to raise four rowdy children Miles, Davi, Kendall and Charli. They are all the help you need, plus a little extra. We find joy raising our family in an industry that we love so much. When I first saw Simmental bulls crossed on Angus cows, it was easy to see Simmentals add a lot of value. The hybrid vigor that comes from the SimAngus cross has so many benefits, not just pounds on weaning day, but overall health, fertility and longevity. When I started my herd, I tried to get the best genetics I could find. Whether I was buying heifers from multiple states or embryos from other reputable seed stock producers. Not everything I tried worked, but the ones that did have made huge strides towards achieving my goals. I find value in using proven sires that have progeny that you can see and compare. By using proven genetics, I know what we have to offer will add value to all that use them. Some of our customers are running as high as 11,500 feet in elevation, others run in lower arid range lands that have their own unique challenges. The consistent factor is these genetics work and add value where ever they have been used. We are excited to help you succeed in your operation and are grateful for this opportunity.
Davies Ranch Seedstock
“The Wineglass brand was first registered in 1919 by William Davies. Since then the Davies Ranch has been known for honesty and integrity. Our Great Grandpa Willie originally homesteaded in Talmage Utah in 1911. In 1947 Willie and his son John R bought the home ranch here in Duchesne. John R raised his family and a commercial cattle herd here and in ’96 John R’s son, Dwayne bought the ranch. Dwayne and Margaret Davies raised their five kids on the ranch, teaching them the value of hard work and continuing on the legacy that the Davies family started. In ‘98 Dwayne saw the need to AI and we have continued to do so since then to improve the genetics of our herd. In the summer our cows run in a high altitude of up to 10,000 ft. The ranch is now a 400+ acre operation and has been worked by five generations. In 2019 their son Ty and son-in-law Paden began running the operation. They are working hard to continue the legacy and grow the herd. Our ranch works hard to breed to the top AI bulls. Over the years we have found a passion for raising Angus and Simmental breeds as well as raising our own show steers for our kids. Our cows have to work for their living. By doing so they make the next genetics for your herd. Paden and Jacquie Duncan have three beautiful girls Macquie K, MyLee J, and McCall Rae. Tyrel and Stephanie Davies have seven amazing kids; Texas Rose, William Truxton, Gatlin R, Brigham Martin, Hyrum Chase, Keary Lou, and Briar Rees. Our kids work the ranch alongside their parents and Grandparents. They enjoy showing livestock and being a part of their family’s legacy. We love the cattle industry and hope to help your legacy continue with ours.”
