Hello again. I'm looking for bull recommendations once again. I've got a complete hodgepodge, Angus X, Simmental X, Shorthorn X, and more. Shorthorns have always been a favorite breed and if we do some AI some this spring/summer that's the route I'm looking to go. Now I've got some cows that are framier (Shorthorn X primarily) that I want to add some guts and muscle to. For those I have been looking at SVFI Uncle. And for my bigger gutted, easy fleshing cows (Angus X primarily, but some Simmental X) I am looking at Mind Bender. I have been very impressed with his calves, dam, and siblings, and have briefly spoken to Josh about him and plan to again. I want to breed functional animals that have a place in the field, I do not care about them winning the big shows right now, I want to build a good foundation for the future. Color would be very nice but not required, Low BWs preferred, and would rather add milk than take away. Any suggestions are helpful. Thank you in advance.
Edited to add that two of the heifers are out of registered Shorthorn + sires (Schab's Drama (Jake's Proud Jazz x Clark's Bonnie) and HHH Blue Moon (Blue Tool x H Princess Melody). How worried should I be about potential DSC with these bulls and breeding their daughters to DSC bulls? Or are there any DS-Free bulls that you would recomend?
