This there any PB simmental bulls out there that will clean up a front end and not loss any depth of rib.  We have a  PB heifer that is a Trademark.  Don't wanta loss any depth of rib, but needs to clean up front end and maybe a little less shoulders.

Explorer will clean up most that i have seen him used on. He is a spotting gene carrier so if you have a female with the spotting gene you may get color! But he will not give up rib shape, he is also calving ease and will add milk to a pedigree, which a lot of simmental are starting to need!

I have some in the oven, so I haven't seen any first hand out of my cows, but many have told me Rendition is supposed to clean up pretty well. He has had some pretty stylish calves. Dream Catcher is also one I would look at.

A.I. Guy- Most that I have talked to say that Explorer makes fronts sloppy. I am glad to hear that that isn't entirely true! He does keep rib pretty well and gives them a nice look though. Just depends on the cow!

Grandmaster has cleaned up fronts from what I can tell on my cattle, but I have seen some with plenty of leather at a few sales.

Dream On is also a choice, but he is everywhere.

Mommas boy will clean up front ends and keep depth of body.  They are late maturing.  They look bad untill they are around 10 months to a year.  After they hit that age they really turn it on and look great.  I almost culled a couple, but after speaking to the owner of the bull i waited them out and was glad i did so.  hope this helps.  I used him on angus cows that were mod framed with sloppy necks.  He will add depth, hair, and clean up front ends.

Im just gonna have to second the Momas Boy vote ! I think hes really under used but sure have seen some beautiful daughters out him. I just calved a Momas Boy heifer for the first time , beautiful udder , plenty of milk , great disposition , and had a really great  heifer calf.
