Nick Fitzsimmons grew up on a Simmental seedstock operation in Western Iowa where his family marketed Simmental bulls and females for seedstock and commercial cattlemen. Growing up marketing and selling cattle across the country sparked a passion for evaluating livestock that eventually led him to Black Hawk East College and then onto Texas Tech University.

Nick, along with his wife Ashley, son Lander and daughter Layne, own and operate Fitz Genetics, a multi-faceted, multi-breed cattle operation, in Perry, Okla. Their operation strives to raise and sell high quality, functional cattle across multiple breeds. Nick has continued to be a student of evaluating livestock and utilizes this skill in all aspects of raising and selling livestock. Nick has also been fortunate enough to judge numerous major shows across the country including at the American Royal, North American International Livestock Expo, Houston, Arizona National, Fort Worth Stock Show, Rodeo Austin and Dixie National.

Nick joined the Sunglo Show Feeds team as the cattle feed specialist in 2015. Nick’s real-world experience within the cattle industry helps stock show families across the country maximize the potential of their stock. Well versed in the ever-changing world of show and seedstock cattle industries, as well as having a passion for teaching the next generation, Nick excels in helping families get the most out of each experience in the barn and the showring alike.
