Most of our cows are bred to Jakes Proud  Jazz, with a few bred to Doctor Who. All of them were cleaned up with CF Swagger, a trump son.

this is hard for me to project this early on.....
helps to see the calves coming this spring yet.

Simmental to use
-Duracell
-Westfall Voyager
-3C Macho
-Built Right
-Black Joker
-BBB Ziggy (a bull we bought from Chris Beutler some years ago; dead now,
                but we have a good semen bank on him; he is timeless in the
                type and kind of show heifer he sires; he is a Zinger x Black Max)
-Star Studded (a bull bred by Chris Ford; I was not a believer until I have had
                    calves on the ground; he is a Star Power x X339U back to
                    Grand Design)

also considering Amigo, JF American Pride, Felts Next Big Thing, Nichol's Muhammad

For Shorthorns
-Jake's Proud Jazz
-Vortec
-Hidden Treasure (Asset son of Joshua Ramsey's that we bred & raised)
-need to somehow get ahold of some good Sullivan Shorthorn semen

for Clubbies
-Monopoly
-Heatwave
-Unforgiven
-Salty Dog
-Uno Mas
-Titanium
-Red Rock
there will be several more that I will need to use to fill "specialty" roles....
such as tycoon & Hannibal for huge bodied cows
maybe Q Dog, Malibu for cows that are huge framed

got some Cyrus in the tank if I can get my pb herf cow flushed
have purchased 3 sets of embryos thus far to put in; one set of Angus to
hopefully raise my next great pb clean up bull for my heifer pasture and
2 sets of shorthorn embryos

will flush for sure one, maybe a couple of my pb Simmi cows

then I believe that we have a set of clean up bulls that are as good as alot
of A.I. sires...
- pb Simmi that was purchased at THE ONE National Simmental Sale in
Denver; an In Dew Time x Drake Lethal Lady
-pb Simmi that was purchased as an embryo from Hilbrands Simmental;
Cott-GFI Fullback x HS SS Rubys Angel
-pb Simmi that was purchased as an embryo from Hilbrands Simmental;
Dream On x Black Glitter
-pb Simmi that we raised sired by Nichols Legacy x Black Mick; easy calving
-lastly our pb Angus clean up bull purchased from M & E Angus; Marvin
and Eileen Kroupa

this is just such a preliminary list; there will be more bulls surface that are
just getting ready for Denver 2012 but it is always one of my favorite
winter pastimes to make breeding plans! 

Fun topic!
