Maine -Simmy Cross

[kkisling1]

We have a purebred Maine donor and looking to flush her Simmy. Any recommendations? She is a Jazz x Cicley (full Sib to Witch Dr.). She has great extension thru front end, long bodied, plenty of power and good boned. Probably could use a shot of depth. What's working on Maine cows?

Thanks

I was up at DMCC and mark is using Remington secret weapon for this.. I bought one of the leftovers after the high dollar heifer went to Bushy park  .. Let me see if I can get a pic

This would be her.. sure the tail head and Top line aren't perfect  but we are going to breed her to Armada... we will see

Yardley High Regard may be a good option as well.  Pretty hot Simmy bull right now.  Had this purebred heifer and like her a lot.  Not a great pic and she's only a couple weeks old but I think he added the rib and depth.

I have a Broker x GVC Dignitary PB Maine cow.  I LOVE the look, going to try more....

I didn't know what to try so this was a shot in the dark, thinking about keeping him as a bull.

Thanks for the input. You just don't see this cross everyday and looking for suggestions. Steel Force an option? We have that in the tank.

I would say Steel Force is a good option, take a look at Griswold's past sale catalogs for other matings. GOOD LUCK.

The FOREMAN bull looks really cool.
