She is pretty clean fronted - knowing the cow she was from but if I could, I'd clean her up a touch more. She was a little later maturing than some of our others but was one of those that kept getting better & better as the year progressed. Right now as a heavy bred - due in March - she looks about as good as I've ever seen her. Her Mo Better calf is one that we are anxiously awaiting.
We also have 2 fall heifer calves sired by Ranch Hand. They are out of first calf heifers - a Dream On daughter & a DO granddaughter. They came small - if I recall they were 60 - 65#, but they grew. They are square hipped and clean fronted. I would like to see a touch more bone on both of them.
All in all, I will use him again and I would use him on heifers.

Still not too sure how I convinced bossman into buying a SIMMI... mind you he's tunnel vision Angus... we love him anyway though lol. <beer>. From what I could see at JD's sale, the Ranch Hands were MY PERSONAL favorites. Growthy, athletic, and had some shape and power to them as well. Depending on their %age, was some rather deep sided ones there to boot. Overall, I was most impressed the Ranch Hand sons as a whole; although JD did have a nice set of Dream Ons and Combinations thrown together as well, my congrats go out to him on such a uniform set of bulls.
