What Simmental bull would you use on Angus females to produce show prospects?  This fall I had my first % calf, a Dream On out of a Morgan's Direction cow and I am trying to figure out who to breed her to this fall.  The cow is a five year old, but I would still prefer a bull with a lower birth wieght.  I will post some pics of the cow and her Dream On heifer, the calf is about two weeks old in the picture.

So what bull is your favorite?

  Grandmaster is hot right now, Hillcountry cattle. Look also @ Premium Blend while @ their site. Trademark, In Dew Time, Long's Shear Pleasure has great #s with low acc. I think Cattle Vision's own a big chunk of him. GWS/SCF Rendition, SF Mr. Perfectionist, Dream On X Lucky Break.

asking who your favorite bull is and which one you would recommend is two different questions. Most of the bulls my family uses are outcrosses. KLS Mr Twister and KLS/KKK Sally's Big Mac owned by Spooner Cattle Co in Wisconsin is a good cross with angus bull. RHS Mack CCS Black Joker (MACK Attack) who Semex released is a good outcross bull as well. The three I just listed above are low birth weight bulls. All three also add a lot of depth of rib. Big Country Time a western bred bull is a good choice too. Burns Bull X339U. JJ E-Mail is a good breed crossig bull. 600U and Entourage. We had 4 entourage calves this year and non cam out over 80 pounds. GW TwentyFour Seven is another good bull. My family tries to stay away from what everyon else i using, so that eventually we can use a popular bull. Preferred Beef and some old school bulls is what we have been using. Simmi industry is definatly getting a bunch of cattle out of the same bloodlines and not doing enough outcrossing. I highly recommend JJ E-Mail, RHS Mack CCS Black Joker, Big Country Time and KLS Mr Twister.
