Which Simmi bull is best at cleaning up front ends? Yardley High Regard or LLSF Pays to Believe?

That's a tough one. I think they both will make a good fronted cow. And while I don't think you can go wrong with either one, I think I prefer P2B. I tend to like my heifers and cows a tick heavy fronted and of the calves I've seen oout of both Bulls P2B makes them the way I like them.

Thanks! Im trying to decide who to flush my angus heifer to and her only flaw is a thicker neck and big brisket. My first choice was WC Loaded Up but he doesn't sex sort good so these two are my next options. Does P2B add any width and power?

I felt the ones I saw had adequate power, tons of depth and spring of rib, good fronted with a good neck and up headed. Probably my favorite thing about them is how they moved. Perfect stride and great rear legs.

All that said I'm not sure how P2B would work in a 1/2 blood situation. However W/C No Remorse is a 1/2 blood High Regard son and I flat out  think he gets it done phenotypically. I have 2 Steel Force half blood daughters and I feel like they are perfect, so that may be an option for you.

I am flushing the one to P2B next Monday as I feel that could make a great one.

There is an old Simmental bull named Fortune 500 that I used on some Angus heifers.  He is a little shallow flanked but nice fronted for a Simmy.  The calves were really balanced and nice fronted out of him.

Thanks for the suggestions. We decided to go with P2B for this first time.

I have a Yardley High Regard cow and I absolutely LOVE the looks of her. She is a little tall but she is nursing twins (1st year heifer gave me twin bulls  :eek: ).

If you have a small-to-moderate frame angus cow that is deep bodied and deep ribbed. 
IMHO:  Best "Old School" Simmental bull:

Excellent structure, heaviest muscled, biggest butted, widest topped, great fronted, and best of all...his daughters make awesome cows...
