Unless all of your customers want the same type and kind diversity will help you sell all your calves. If you do go with a donor make sure it from a program that you respect and know. I think that way is a good idea if you want uniformity. You can flush the cow to the same bull over and over...

Pendleton and Red Answer are red full brothers to Bullseye right?

Yes lots more options for the blacks. Dominance and his sire had a good run for show winners but didn’t gain the popularity because their numbers were terrible. I’ve not paid much attention to the reds for years ( dad didn’t ever even think about using one). Dad sold a herd bull he liked because...

The best red Simmentals are coming out of black bulls.

Great blaze to him

Yes I would agree on the dispositions of most of the heifers out of those two bulls can get ranchy if bred to the wrong cow. Bulls on the other hand we have had excellent dispositions on and have heard that Wernings say the same. I am liking ST Genetics actions this year on the Simmental side...

Used W/C Executive Order, ACW Ironhide, GEFF County O, HILB Oracle, Mr NLC Upgrade, GLS Brigade, OMF Commander, KOCH Big Timber, and W/C United on cows Hooks Blackhawk, KOCH Big Timber, and WS High Steaks on heifers. Embryos out of EO, Bankroll, Brigade, P2B, OBCC Deplorabull, One Eyed Jack, GLS...

We have bred an early May for a late February calf and had no issues. But like has been said many times bull selection and heifer size/maturity all play rolls.

Yeah it wasn’t the funnest writing those numbers down, but only three over 100 pounds. A 90 pound bull with projected CE of 16.2 and BW of -1.95 both top 10% for percentage cattle. Funny thing is out of his contemporaries he is the low BW and his calving ease and birthweight ratios and EPD’s...

I would call our winter not too bad this past year. We had 13 bulls born ET or AI in 13 days in March this year and averaged 98.85 pounds. It is a little disheartening to cut some of these guys here in a month or so. But our cows get fed very well over winter and are pretty sheltered where they...

Quite different terrain than we have here. Calves are growing well.

Nice bag on the cow.

Live calves are better than dead ones!

Good I have one cow bred to him this year and we bred some of our sale breds to him. Hillbrands have sold his calves very well.

Agree!! How are you liking your executive orders?

I had a heifer pop one out next to a wall. Didn't even know she had it till I got her up. Turned around to claim it and lick it once she knew but by then it was too late. Head was tucked under and dead. My dad said if you are around cattle enough you will experience all the bad things that can...

Breeding to what cows? a set of blacks? reds? whites? chocolates? Then you could have diluter genes? Like SoB said DNA would be the easiest to know for certain.

We had a Lock n Load 3/4 blood bull through calves smaller than our angus heifer bull this year. Plenty of options for lbw simmi bulls. I would use a homo black non blaze face. It keeps them black hided and enough will come out as a baldy.

Our embryologist was in the store today and I asked him about this. He agreeded that the more you handle the embryo the greater the chances to injure or harm the embryo creating greater instances of having premature births. IVF with the greatest and conventional embryos second.

That is always hard to deal with. The only early embryo abortion I can really think of in our herd is a set of twins. One red and one black heifer and bull. Two embryos in the straw.
