Getting ready to breed about 15 Simmental cows soon.  I have used Combustible the past couple of years and like the results for the most part.  I have also considered using Optimizer for the first time.  I would like to breed for a couple potential show heifers without sacrificing performance.  I have a couple Uno Mas calves, but like them a little thicker than the ones I have.
Opinions?  Other (reasonably priced) options?

Optimizer is a great choice, along with W/C Lock n Load 1143Y. We are really liking our 1143Y calves!

Optimizer is a good bull but he sometimes puts white in places you won`t like even out of a solid black cow. I`ve had good luck with Bandwagon.

I calves out 10 heifers bred to 1143Y and had no trouble. We only pulled one and that was because it was already late and didn’t want to wait for her. Biggest calf was 80lbs but most were in the 75 lb range. But they grow like crazy and impress me every day. They turned out better than our Loaded Up calf which isnt growing much.
