Anyone see any of the Simmi bulls out there? Anyone have pictures? I'm still wishing I was out there!  :-\

All the buzz I'm hearing is on this loaded up x in dew time son called On the Mark. The champion bulls (PB and%)were very good also. You can see those  on the pulse blog.

Anyone else see on SEK Genetics that Moxie is $100 a straw?

Looking for info on the Angus bull from Bushy Park called Timber Creek.  He really hit me hard.  Also, loved the Simmi bull from Minnaert out of Bandwagon called Crowd Pleaser.  He also had a really good 2 year old Hereford bull named Harley.  I think he was Sullivan bred.  Any thoughts on any of these?

He looks awfully straight up front in that picture.

Purebred? I agree about the front end. What's the breeding on him?

 

[ATM OH]

I have no affiliation with that bull and don't even have a hereford on the farm but I do think part of that straightness look is how the white and red tie in together. I definitely noticed the same thing at first glance.

 

[shortyjock89]

I'm sure he's a PB since he's from Sullivan.

I've raised a few hundred herefords and never had any white chests make one look straight like that. Look at the base of his shoulder transitioning into his leg.

 

[captain7781]

I agree that the picture leaves much to be desired.  Apparently, he isn't as bad as it looks because he was division champion up on the hill.  I'm not a Hereford breeder but I thought Harley was just a real attractive bull.  He has a little more flash than your typical 2 year old Hereford.  I would love to see a bunch of black baldies out of him.

If you blow the picture up, and study it, there is white in the upper leg area that skews the leg appearance, he does not to be as straight as the picture depicts. I would like to see a picture from the other side, he may look completely different.

I also liked the Angus Bull from Bushy Park. I am trying to decide what I am going to try him on this spring. My Angus or Simmentals or both. Any suggestions.

 

[captain7781]

There isn't much info out there about him that I can find.  I sent an email to Bushy Park asking for a little more information but haven't got any response.  From his pedigree, I would suggest that he probably isn't going to be a sure fire calving ease bull.  But as far as phenotype he was pretty good.  Maybe someone will see these posts and be able to help us out. 

 

[shortyjock89]

Maybe I really just can't see this bull,  but I've yet to see a picture of him I wouldn't call straight fronted.

 

[showqueen95]

When I saw him, I definitely thought he was straight fronted and his knee needs to be laid back in him more. But still was a nice bull tho, other than that.

 

[shortyjock89]

If you can sacrifice structure that much,  then sure.

There are a ton of good Hereford bulls that are also great structured.

 

[showqueen95]

Yea, I have seen other better structured Hereford bulls this year that I would use before him. But that doesn't mean the rest of him wasn't good. He could have been shallow bodied, bowed hocked, and narrow, but he wasn't.
I wouldn't use him because of his shoulder but I also saw a pretty popular Hereford bull earlier a few months ago, who's daughters been getting a lot of attention and selling for a lot, who I thought was even worse structured while still not having same width and body or look that he did.
