It all started with a little hope…

Welcome and thank you for visiting our page! Hilbrands Cattle Co was established in July of 2013 with the marriage of Mark Hilbrands and Amanda Eberspacher. Mark purchased his first black Simmental from 4E Simmentals in 1992 and started using embryo transfer in 1996. Amanda grew up with club calves but was heavily involved in the Simmental industry due to her parents sale management business and purchased her first purebred Simmental show heifer from Triple C Farms in 1999. Mark and Amanda purchased JF Ebonys Joy 479P "Hope" together in the spring of 2005 which started the HS/AJE partnership! The combination of the two herds have grown into an elite operation with a huge emphasis on cow families. Kinslee Hope joined the family in April of 2015!

Located in Clara City, MN, and both graduates of South Dakota State University, Mark and Amanda run around 125 head of purebred and percentage Simmental cattle with an extensive use of embryo transfer. They host the Jewels of the Northland Production Sale the first Saturday in December and the Passion for Perfection Spring Sale the second Saturday in April. Cattle are marketed through the two production sales, Louisville, Denver and the MN State Simmental Sale. Embryos are always available and bulls are for sale private treaty. Be sure to check out our Upcoming Sale Page along with our Facebook and Instagram for updated information about either Jewels or Passion.

 Visitors are always welcome at the farm!
