    Simmental coat patterns

    I just wish the breed would have used their own genetics to reach their goals to gain market acceptability. They obviously had it before the "market" demanded black hides and before the giraffes took over. Angus changed without changing their color to gain market acceptance again (although there...

    Simmental coat patterns

    I find it all sad and amusing.  Now the blaze faced simms are more popular.  Why?  They establish breed identity!  Simmentals had breed identity before they sold their souls to CAB, but instead of improving their breed through selective breeding they created black cattle by mixing in Angus...

    Red Angus bull "Buf Crk The Right Kind U199

    I have one heifer out of him and really like her so far.  Easy keeping, moderate and thick, good personality.  Not my tallest heifer at weaning but was the heaviest. We'll see how she holds up when she calves.  Used him on a few more cows this year.  I think his first crop of heifers will be...

    Does this read like a con ?

    Common con, someone hijacked his email and address list and is hoping someone is gullible.  Been around for years.

    Flying B Cut Above aka "Fat Butt"

    Alot of the ASA averages changed, but if you look back to the Spring 2012 averages, CE did not, it was 7.5 and still is 7.5.  So I would call the drop significant.

    Help with Simmy semen codes?

    Amazing that Magician and The Wizard were full brothers and had such vastly different phenotypes and epds.  Just goes to show that even with well proven sires in the bloodline genes will mix differently.  Reminds me of Winchester and Red Label.  Does anyone else get bothered when such...

    Triplets

    The interference happens around day 21 of gestation.  All embryos start out with the same plumbing, and the hormones the embryo is exposed to very early determines what develops.  Your calf was lucky enough not to have a fused placenta with its win, keeping the blood of both embryos separate and...

    Majestic Lightning

    Is this the bull you are asking about? http://search.redangus.org/animal/name/majestic_lightning#/animal/1155775 I have no experience with him, but if this is the bull your CE EPD is way off and the answer to a heifer bull would be decidedly NO.  If this isn't the bull please post the reg# so...

    Eazy calve Simmi bull

    Saw him in person in 2008, the video doesn't do him justice.  Saw Exodus and Steinadler the same day, all of them were tanks with great personalities.  I don't think Gigant is available any more but they are proving out a few sons of his. http://www.fleckvieh.de/Hornlos/overview_e.asp
