R A Bulls - Majoe League - Pretty inconsistant. I saw 6 flushmate sisters that ranged from frame score 4 to frame score 8, short and squatty to tall and thin. They were all out of a donor cow that had been flushed to several other bulls successfully and out of 11 Major League calves there was not a "good one" in the bunch. I've never seen one that has impressed me.
Lancer - Will moderate a Low Line and take it's hair with it.
All in all I think there are alot of better bulls in the Red breed to piock from. JMHO. RW

interesting rw, i don't plan on using either one, but recently saw some daughters of both. I'd say you're right the lancer's were very small...

lucky dice has the spotter gene. Really good carcass qualities.

Yes, Lucky Dice has the spotter gene but can be used on non spotter cows which would include all Angus cows. He makes a really nice cross on Angus. The cow needs to have some milk in the pedigree for the mating to work. The bulls out of dice are easy to sell--thick, attractive with good dispositions.

what is this spotter gene??? I don't know much bout sim's...

jackpotcattle · « **Reply #8 on:** October 20, 2009, 09:48:14 PM »

if they have the spotter gene it means they can throw white. I think he is homo black but can paint one up if bred to the wrong cow

Possum Trot Ranch · « **Reply #9 on:** October 21, 2009, 10:37:25 AM »

The spotter gene is what makes many of the old style Simmentals look like Holsteins. It is a recessive gene so an animal has to have two copies of the gene for it to be expressed or for the animal to be spotted. Many modern day Simmentals may appear solid black or red but still have one gene for spotting. So it is possible for two solid colored animals to have offspring that are spotted. Since spotted calves are docked at the sale barn it is not a desirable trait. Lucky Dice, Lucky Strike, Built Right are just a few of the black Simmental bulls that have the spotter gene. As long as you use them on cows that do not have the spot gene then all is well. Other genes influence white on the head, legs and belly. The spotter gene only refers to white accross the sides or back.

the spotter gene, in the case of wanting to make calves with alot of chrome and color... would be a good thing...

LN · « **Reply #11 on:** October 21, 2009, 11:14:43 AM »

Wouldn't it be nice if the ASA herdbook listed animals that carry the spotting gene. I do my best to avoid it.

WRS · « **Reply #12 on:** October 21, 2009, 12:49:09 PM »

I would agree with most of what was said about Lucky Dice...except for his temperment. Many of the females I have seen sired by him have an attitude....some a BIG problem and don't stick around long at our place!
