I am almost hesitant to post this picture, but this is my sons 17 month old Simmy Bull-He didn't have him set up so leg position in the back is not the greatest-just a random photo taken before bath and clipping.

I have no idea what he'll bring-i am trying to do some research into simmy prices-the bull has been his FFA project-we don't have simmental cattle. I know we'll keep him on our commercial herd before we give him away !
Thanks for all the positive comments. The last bull we posted on here wasn't so fortunate.

The people we bought him from has some contacts to that was interested in him as a calf, so maybe... Anyway, he needs to get enough out of him to buy a hereford heifer for next years jr. nationals. He bred all his hereford cows to a black bull except one-ai'd her but don't know if she took to that or bred to the black bull.

How is he bred? Doesn't have any Dream On in him does he?

He's a Dream On grandson-his sire is Antoinettes Star.

If he is a Dream on son, he could possible be fairly valuable. The bull seems to have a good phenotype, without seeing any numbers or stats on him its hard to tell. I do know that semen on Dream On is very limited and very expensive

He's a Dream On Grandson. Before we sell him we want to breed him to some clubby and good commercial cows. My daughter has a simangus that is a granddaughter of Meyer 734-we are planning on breeding her to him also and hopefully get a show heifer out of them.
