Best Red Simmental Bulls

Just curious what everyone thinks are the best red Simmental bulls out there right now. I have a red carrier cow that I am looking to possibly get a red calf out of. I have seen Long's Steel Shot, Houston X01, Kappes Pendleton, etc. All good looking bulls just curious what everyone elses thoughts are

I would say based on calves that I have seen at Simmental sales it's hard to go against Mack AF, he has an impressive video on youtube. Not sure on his semen situation. Houston X01 is a bull we plan to use and have seen a few pop up in some sales that look nice. Remington Red Label always impressed me, but he has faded off a little the past few years. Good topic though. Hopefully you get some more responses.

Amigo is my favorite, very consistant dream on son. I may use a son of Houston or Houston himself this year. The bull pendleton also looks promising.

Here is one that has been really successful for Hudson Pines Farm: STF Dominance

What about Homeboy?

Check out GCC Red Rider. Low API but nice front and a big rear. Should make some hairy calves with some Maine influence in there. Out of ZKCC Chopper who goes back to Steel Force and Meyer 734.

I really like the looks of those three calves of Houston. Does anyone else of any experience with him? He for sure gets my vote.

I sold a really nice Houston hfr out of the field this past summer, right off of her dam. Probably the best hfr I've ever raised.

Gargan what did you use him on?

A total recall x dream on halfblood cow I bought from Griswold's. She's a moderate, soggy made female. Here's a cell pic of her

Here's a pic of the hfr at about a month old

With respect to Houston: Make sure the cow has plenty of "set" to her hind leg.  He will make them really straight and they can "goose step" a little.

An old red bull that Drake's and Sandeen's had success with is Meyer's Red Top.

Love that cow Gargan, and would be super proud of that hfr as well.
Thanks for the Note Steve123
