A lot of great work is being done by the breed associations who have joined forces in the Cow Herd Roundup (CHR) project. There is a great deal of information available on the American Simmental Association page. There are also staff members who are very excited about this project and would be...

The more drastic change in EPDs within the Simmental breed could potentially be caused by BOLT (Biometric Open Language Tools). I encourage you to read about it here. Changes in EPDs will come to all breeds involved in IGS. http://www.internationalgeneticsolutions.com

I believe he is homozygous black.

I was also very confused by not seeing suds on the calf. The first time I used it, I smelled the calf to make sure something was on there! (lol) I've only used the system for a couple of weeks now and am beginning to see a difference. Although I have noticed growth, I have also noticed rapid...

WS Stepping Stone was sold as a Step Up son. I assume he has recently been DNA tested to Lock Down. Either way he's a great looking bull.

After looking today a few bulls stood out to me. In terms of making competitive fat steers, I feel that Exit 40 will surely have a place. He's super thick, powerful, and yet not too coarse. In terms of making show heifers, I really liked the looks of Black Power Play. I feel he'll be underused...

There is nothing wrong with dying cattle, however I see dying spots as unethical as it is a complete color alteration. I see nothing wrong with it if you were to merely enhance the color of the animal, but you intend to change the color.

I really like the bull. We asked about semen late this summer. They said the inventory was low and they turned him out on cows. I'll check again in the spring.

I'd also like more information on Captain.

We only had one this year out of a first calf heifer. She was born on her due date and had a 60 pound birth weight.

After the mistake in reading the first test, Wide Track was put down because the Werning family chose not to use a carrier bull any further in the progression of their herd. The test which confirmed him negative of CA came after he was put down.

Do you have any more of this semen?

His head is mounted in a sale facility. He is solid black.

Attending the Simmental Junior Nationals since I was old enough to do so has certainly provided me with both experiences and opportunities I would not have in any other organization. The AJSA is a unique association itself in the fact that juniors must participate in 3 of 4 educational contests...

I had the same problem with Rockin S in the past couple of weeks. He was supposed to take a heifer to Alabama but never would return calls.

At this point no one can tell you about Bandwagon. Chopper has been proven to work in multiple situations. He will moderate a female, yet keep the depth and muscle on one. That being said, I bought Bandwagon semen the day I saw the picture and pedigree. I feel he will make his mark in the...

Simmentals are July 5-12 in College Station, TX.

No calf report, but I saw this bull at stud last July and was FAR from impressed. The frame on that bull couldn't be far from a 4-4.5. He should thicken them up, but use him on huge framed cows.

What will sexed semen be available for?

I would either use High Regard or Uno Mas for simmis.
