A Success Story – Aaron Young

January 9, 2025

Meet Aaron Young, Herd Manager at JC Simmentals. Although he didn’t begin his career in the cattle industry, he always felt a pull toward rural life. When he met John and Connie Miller, he found a home in agriculture and never looked back.

JC Simmentals is known not only for its strong sires, simmentals, and angus cattle but also for hosting the Great Lakes Annual Beef Connection. People from all over the country fly in to attend this event, where the Miller family showcases some of their best cows. More important than the cows to their operation’s success are the people. John and Connie Miller recognized early on that they needed reliable help around the farm to ensure success for future generations. More than just creating jobs, John and Connie have built a place where future employees can grow as individuals and be mentored.
