My name is Denielle Trauernicht. My husband, Scott, and I have raised
our three children on our farm near Wymore, Nebraska. Lauren (24),
Natalie (21), and Lainey (13) have all played an active role in our op
eration since childhood. Trauernicht Simmentals is a 450 head, fam
ily-owned and run seedstock operation that spans three generations.
Our cattle are bred for performance, calving ease, maternal traits, and
fertility. Fifty-five years of dedicated breeding has molded our motto,
"Performance cattle with a touch of style.

I love to replace water with beef/chicken
stock or replace regular milk with evaporated
milk to add depth of flavor or extra creami
ness to dishes.

What is your favorite cooking tip or trick?
”
What is your most requested dish or what is your favorite
thing to make?
Of all the dishes that I make, my family requests spaghetti
quite frequently…I will say that I appreciate the simplicity of
this one! It’s always been a staple at our house.”
“
Where did you learn to cook?
Honestly, I learned to cook out of necessity! When I
quit my job as an elementary teacher to come home and
help on the farm, I quickly learned that there were a lot
of hungry mouths to feed! I really had to step up my
game, and as I got more comfortable, I realized how
much I enjoyed it! Now I enjoy cooking for the cowboys
and cowgirls on the farm, as well as for customer events
throughout the year. ”
“
What is the best part of cooking for
big groups such as sales and
customer appreciation events?
Years ago, I would have been over
whelmed with cooking for a crowd.
Nowadays, it’s second nature and I
feel a sense of accomplishment when
I get the spread out. I always appre
ciate the kind words from customers
when they enjoy the meal!”
