    This question goes out to all the Simmental people.

    Grandmaster and In Dew Time on the heifers , well proven they both work well and make saleable calves. On cows id say 3C Macho on anything real deep and soggy , Dream On for the taller not quite as deep and soggy , Steel Force for middle of the road. Also like Upgrade but havent sampled him yet.

    Upgrade or American Pride ?

    Thanks for the replys ! Ya I'm leaning towards Upgrade for now anyway. On the deepest softest bodied cows I have that is ! Still think they both are really good though.

    Mo Magic Halfblood Simmy , calving ?

    Appreciate the replys ! Ya i dont know what to think for sure. Proper heifer management and the right heifers might be the key.  I know there is always some horror stories out there  but i can honestly say ive used a purebred Perfector bull  the last 4 years that was a plus 3.7 bw and never out...

    Mo Magic Halfblood Simmy , calving ?

    Heck its possibile your vet could be off on the due date too , they are human and humans have been known to make mistakes now and then ! Id let mother nature decide when the time is right.

    Simmental Cross?

    Oh yes you do , we are all well aware of that ! Im not ruling out your favorite Rendition , but i havent seen a group of calves out of him and straight angus cows anywhere yet ! Somebody needs to get on it and show us !!!

    Simmental Cross?

    Hmmm , I have a feeling there is a heaping pile of people out there that would say Meyer 734 x Angus including myself. But since that would cost a fortune I'm going to say 3C Macho x Angus. Or a few other Meyer Sons out there. Proof is out there , everywhere !

    Keeping a halter on- Suggestions?

    Yes it can be a major pain once they figure it out , best probably to leave it off. Put it on when its time to work , I think that's better than them stepping on the rope constantly pulling their head down anyway ! Kinda want the head up so its almost a negative to leave it on in my opinion. To...

    Simmental bull for heifer

    Given that your heifer is a Dream On which are typically deeper softer made cattle but usually a little short in the milk and muscle department i would go Grandmaster. He is gonna add some lenght of body , some muscle and milk ! Your stayability is also going to be very good with this cross. You...

    Apalled by a breeders behavior after a show!!!

    Well said leanbeef ! Exactly !!! Pretty sad that a lot of showing revolves around daddys check book and what the daddy wants ! Its pathetic !!! Kids should learn how to be competitive and have FUN at the same time , isn't that what its all about ?
