Simmy Breeding Options

[dimebag]

This is a Hired Man x Simmy cow (1/2 blood) and will be breeding her to a PB bull for a 3/4 calf . I have a few bulls in mind , 1 . Chopper 2. Bandwagon 3. Step Up 4. Combustible , hoping for a heifer , but a bull calf could offer me some total outcross genetics later on . thoughts ?

My daughter just picked up her steer for 2015 and is a Chopper out of a Grandmaster cow.  I'm going to vote Chopper all the way.  Should also almost be guaranteed a chrome face.  Wide top, moderate, and very gentle.

  Take a look @ Chooper's ful sib, ZKCC Custom Built, I think he maybe siring more rib and a softer look. JMO. Of the bulls that you listed, I would lean towards Combustable clicking with your cow. JMO.

Yardley's High Regard is a pretty good bull too.

Thanks for all of the input , i'm not a Simmy breeder , but the more i study the more i like some of these good Simmy bulls . Seems like the Steel Force and Dream On lines appeal to me .

Is this Hired Man from Trauschs?

 

[dimebag]

Yes , she's sired by Trausch's Hired Man . She will be bred for club calves in the future .

I really like what he does when mating to non-clubby cows. I think he is an underused maternal sire.

Your cow has plenty of style and muscle. I would soften her up a tad and maybe add some depth to her. Take a look at Pays to Believe video http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_q2a0VjmBwA&feature=youtu.be

No guarantee on anything! Here is our Chopper calf, out of a Pioneer angus cow. No white, anywhere, but he has style and is cute!

For black simmy bulls look at MLC Mr Justice or Mr Hoc Broker. For a Full Fleck I would look at IPU Romano.

Thanks for the ideas Gargan and Mark H , Gargan i read her as you do .. lots of bone , muscle and look , that's why i'm looking for a bull to add depth and softness . i found Pays to Believe yesterday and like him also .

Mark H , i really like Broker as well .
