You can do an EPD search in the Simmental breed. https://herdbook.org/simmapp/template/animalSearch,CustomEpdSearch.vm There is also an EPD percentile table you can look at and figure it out manually. Might take some time though...

I have had numerous vets recommend injectable. They say that it is more effective in killing parasites because it is directly injected into the animal's body compared to a pour on which has to enter the body through the skin/hair follicle before it can work. If you inject it in the neck, you...

Nice looking calves so far! I'll be curious to see how they grow out for you! I'm considering using him this spring myself! Best of luck with them! (thumbsup)

I just got some Precon last week and didn't need a prescription!

Looking good so far! I'm curious to see how they turn out for you! (thumbsup)

In the Simmi breed I've noticed a big increase in WW and YW numbers, especially in my herd. From the olden days, BW has decreased and CE has increased. Still have some who think that Simmental can't be used on anything small because they are still considered to have a high BW and low CE. If we...

Grandmaster hasn't added depth for me, but he does add some butt to them. There are others out there to use. Built Right makes them right. Doesn't add much power and won't clean up a front but they sure do have style. I've also been wanting to use Whizard and Bandwagon but I've been breeding to...

I forgot to mention American Pride!

What's her current API? I'll do some digging here when I get a free moment! Some of the Lock N Load sons might be able to do that for you! Lock Down and Ironhide are both over 120 if I remember correctly. I'll have some Wide Range calves this spring, but I don't think he's gonna make show ring...

I could give you a list a mile long, but some of the my showring maker Sim standbys are Broker, Steel Force, and Milestone (if you can find it...and it's usually pricey). If you look at class winner results from the big shows, Broker is everywhere. Also been seeing High Regard a lot. He's been...

Wowie! Makes you wonder!  :o :o

Nice looking female you've got there! What are you wanting to do with the calves? You wanting to go PB Sim or clubby?

PM me if you have further questions about any of the Simmental bulls mentioned or EPDs.

Couldn't find the video at first. After watching it I agree. I also prefer to see them walking without all of the extra bedding.

Well hello there, SEA! I personally hadn't heard of him until I read your post! I am familiar with Pays To Dream (grandsire) though. I have had a few Pays calves over the years and they wont knock your socks off number wise, but they have been pretty consistent phenotypically. I have a close...

The link I posted for you shows the breed EPD adjustment factors. There is a chart on that link that shows what you need to add or subtract from other breed EPDs to make them equal Angus EPDs. It might take a little number crunching, but that will help to answer your question.

His calves haven't had the best attitudes, really upheaded and take a while to calm down. They look darn good though. If you're planning on working with the calf from birth, you should be ok. There are some other Lock N Load sons that would work-W/C Lock Down, ACW Ironhide and Live Ammo. Lock...
