Wanted to bump this thread to ask those of you out there who have WS A Step Up calves in your herds, how do they do as cows? I've had a couple females that I wasn't incredibly impressed with their milk production, wanted to see if that was just my bad luck, or if it had been seen in other herds...

If you don't mind, keep us updated on how it turns out for you. Good luck!

Yeah it is hard to argue with Duff's ability to put some power and flesh on them. Not a bad idea at all WSF. I'll certainly take a look, if not for this year then maybe next.

So for this heifer: Brilliance or Bismarck?

From what I have seen and read, it seems like you are not the only one that thinks that Gargan. On another thread I saw someone say they have heard he can make them a little shallow footed. Think I would have any issues with her? Another Bismarck son Brilliance crossed my mind, and after digging...

It has been discussed on here before, but what do people think about Bush Unbelievable vs his sire SAV Bismarck? Any reason to use one over the other keeping this heifer in consideration? I have heard so many good things about both that I am just curious what people have found to work for them...

Any thoughts on the Angus side of things? Maybe clean up here front end a bit?

WSF, what have you seen for birthweights out of Bankroll? Or anybody else that has experience using him.

Thanks for the input Mark! Another dandy to add to the list.

What have you thought of your bankroll calves? County O is putting out some truly incredibly heifers lately! Bankroll is sporting a big ol head on him, sounds like you've seen that in his calves as well?

Thanks for the input WSF! You always have great answers for me. I have really been considering County O. My goal is to make big broody females. I couldn't agree more about the neck. Pays to believe is another awesome option. I haven't looked into the other two very much, I will get researching...

Anybody have opinions/experience using either of these two Loaded Up sons? If you have used both, is there one you prefer over the other and why? Just trying to get ready for spring breeding! Bring on the pictures, thoughts, pros, cons etc. As usual, thanks to everybody for giving their two...

Mark, Thank you for all your input today! I really like that bull as well. And thank you for the semen link. Have loved all three suggestions.

Also, any pics of him mature? Your calf, not Hammertime himself.

Thanks for the feedback! I really like the look of Hammertime, and his dam. I'll take a look at the pic. It says a lot that you kept him back for cleanup though. Have any more bred back to him?

Looks like you agree with Mark, Gargan. He is a good looking bull. I take it ya'll have had some calves out of him? Any pics?

Thanks Mark! I like the looks of vision and his son Catalyst as well. Do you know where semen is available on the other two bulls? I found pictures and numbers (both impressive and certainly look like they will put out power) but I don't know if I found anywhere that actually sells semen...

Here is a pic, I like her video better which can be found on the link in my previous post.

We bought a simmie heifer a couple months ago from Windy Ridge Simmentals. She was lot 32 in this sale https://www.dponlinesales.com/auction/9393/207554?fsp=12600 You can view her pic and video there, I will also work on getting a pic attached. She is a Pilgrim on the WRS donor WAGR Precious...

I80 definitely makes some cool calves of both sexes, but just in my experience I wouldn't say he is a fail-safe heifer bull. I bred a SimAngus heifer to him a few years back. Ended up pulling a 96 pound calf.... The cow was very moderate in size and has not had a calf over the 85 pound mark ever...
