Jody you know nothing that what simmental breeding has become make everything dream on blood then switch to the hot new outcross its better now though theres at least 3 hot bulls instead of just one
And neither do you... You're nothing but a shithorn lover... I've never claimed to know anything about Sim bulls... Don't care to.. Just know that if I had them, every cow would get mated to Rendition or Dream On.. and I wouldn't be afraid to linebreed around Dream On...
I also do know that Dream On has done more for the Sim breed, than any other bull has
single handedly done for any other breed. DO helped fix the commercial Sim problems and make them a huge player (now), helped make Sim's competitive in the showring, and even helped the club calf type Sim guys make females that actually work. That bull flat out was Mr. Fix It, for the Simmental world. He deserved every bit of being "HOT" and "NEW" and most importantely "GREAT"- for his 10 years, or whatever it was in service.
It doesn't matter what breed we are discussing, but when people come onto the scene asking for the 'hot and new', just for the sake of 'hot and new' to fill a semen tank.. that's pittiful in my eyes.. Do some homework on your own herd and what it needs.
Now, I'm not promoting only using "tried and true" (boy that's a nice rhyme), because without 'hot and new', we don't make progress; but stay stuck in the past.
In my operation, of many colors and ideas, I'm prob more apt to try out 'new', more so than either 'hot' or 'tried'-- why I think outside the box. But I can guarentee that I'm not picking 'new', just to be new-- but what they might bring to the table of potential from what I've seen in their parentage, and to be different.
