Soggy-bodied simmi bull

I need a deep bodied, good made simmi bull that will add bone, hair, and show appeal to my cows. I've been thinking along the lines of Grizzly, Whizard, MR NLC Upgrade, Trendsetter. Any opinions?

I believe he is half Simmy, but I'm a big fan of SOS

he's dead now isn't he? won't that make semen go high?

I'm also looking at Shear Pleasure and "Fat Butt"

I'm using Grandmaster for one of my 2nd calvers. I've read on here that he's consistant, low BW's, and adds muscle.

Well, I don't know what kind of cows you are using him on (breed, size, appearance), but when I want those traits I think of:

Built Right
Cut Above
Grandmaster
Rendition
Milestone (Good luck finding semen though!)
Trademark and Upgrade have worked good for me too. Upgrade might add leather, and he can be hit and miss.

Our new bull Quick Fire is adding more bone, mucsle and style than any other PB Simmi bull that we have ever used.

We really like our Grandmaster calf. She is deep and soggy, unlike her mother who is tighter gutted and heavy muscled. He really put the pretty in the calf, and deepened her up!

the best looking calves here this year are out of the 3/4 Simmi bull

Did not mention it earlier but Quick Fire is pictured in Griswolds online semen catalog.  Check it out.

I really like that Quick Fire and Montecito. I just don't know what I want I guess! I wish I could breed them all at one time.. :S

Montecito often has semen for sale on Dalton Lundey's web site. Usually goes below market... I got 10 straws on him, and have a fall heifer due in October to him.

I really like Montecito. I'm just always nervous to try new bulls.

I like Harkers/JS Domination now that he has came down on price so that it is more feasable to use commercially. He has sired some really good looking offspring. I would not want to spend $40/50 on semen from a new bull. There are just too many bulls that are prooven to pick from.If a half blood bull will work, JF Foundation is a bull that I like. JMO.

+1 on  Domination to add depth of body.  He certainly did that on three crossbred cows we used him on.  The bulls out of him had excellent testicular development as well, which was probably a reflection of Domination's own semen quality.  We would have liked to have seen more width and front end extension in them.

How any calves did you have by him? What was their birth weights like? With his horrible calving ease number, I am reluctant to try him...

Haven't most of the SM #s went into the tank with the changing of the formulas? I have been told that 70% of the cows #s have dropped drastically. I know that some of the bulls That Steenhoeck's took to Denver were Domination sired. His #s dropping is what has also made him more affordable.
