We have a purebred Maine donor and looking to flush her Simmy. Any recommendations? She is a Jazz x Cicley (full Sib to Witch Dr.). She has great extension thru front end, long bodied, plenty of power and good boned. Probably could use a shot of depth. What's working on Maine cows?

Thanks

I was up at DMCC and mark is using Remington secret weapon for this.. I bought one of the leftovers after the high dollar heifer went to Bushy park  .. Let me see if I can get a pic

Yardley High Regard may be a good option as well.  Pretty hot Simmy bull right now.  Had this purebred heifer and like her a lot.  Not a great pic and she's only a couple weeks old but I think he added the rib and depth.

I have a Broker x GVC Dignitary PB Maine cow.  I LOVE the look, going to try more....

I didn't know what to try so this was a shot in the dark, thinking about keeping him as a bull.

Thanks for the input. You just don't see this cross everyday and looking for suggestions. Steel Force an option? We have that in the tank.

I would say Steel Force is a good option, take a look at Griswold's past sale catalogs for other matings. GOOD LUCK.
