    What's wrong with Simmental cattle?

    As a Simmental and Simangus breeder I can say that probably there are only a few good bloodlines available and once you have gone thru them its pretty much over. It would take a lot of time to go back to Fleckvieh and start a new PBSM bloodline --I think that is kinda where we are. There are...

    Here is a 1/8 SM - if it was easy to get double digit trait leaders across the board -- more people would be doing it (1,5,10,15,20 percentile ranges) Like Z 14 x Tour of Duty 12 trait leaders -- not many of those around

    I breed for balance mostly -- its like that Legacy bloodline --take HSF although High in API and TI in PBSM -- his growth EPD's are a crap sammich and rarely do any bull buyers around want one -- so sure we could raise a HSF calf, but why should we --- no one wants them. I think a more balance...

    Let’s get this straight once and for all, FSW, so that the Cattle Today board members here understand about the Simmental and Simangus. There are two sectors within Simmental: the Performance Sector and the Show Sector. My analogy, though harsh, is just to better differentiate between the two...

    Advice for expanding use of AI

    The ones that cycle 5-7 days before I put Cidr's in I just breed on their natural heat. we breed them all on the 12 hour rule on observed Heat. The patches are good because it give me a heads up on what is going on --

    I looked him up on AAA --he isnt in ASA to measure apples to apples. I didnt find any Genetic defect data on him --he does have DD Carrier 1407 in his background. ASA has a program called the Carcass Merit Program where bulls that rank in the top 25% can be accepted. There are PBAN in this...

    Well for starters the CE EPD is what one would use to breed for calving ease and not BW -- due to the fact that BW can change more drastically because it can fluctuate with management or environment.. Or your cows EPD for CE may be a crap sammich as well or your cattle may just be under less...

    Embryos

    I can do that --- most of the calves from these donors have all been sold. Bulls born in 2013 were sold in 2014 and are gone. Surely you can do you own looking at GAR Prophet Pics. These bulls represent the top 1% of all Simm-influenced cattle in the US and were sold out west. I was offering...

    How many folks run AI sired bulls in the commercial sector?

    We cull harder than most people do in the Simmental / Simm influenced realm, but then we expect you to pay more for them. Most Simm bulls in the SE are from show stock, which may be pheno-typically pleasing, yet terrible in the production realm. We dont have show stock. Most of our bulls (80%)...

    I'd feed all the Non-Texans Limmy beef --that would make good fisherman out of all of them --at least they could eat. Fellow Texans and I would be sitting on the porch eating Wagyu beef having a Shiner Bock

    A question of ethics

    I always tell them whats going on with the animal I'm sending --- we cull hard then send the bottom to the stockyard --- which is usually better cattle than most commercial people have anyway --- There are a lot of dishonest people out their in the world --my advice is to buy off the ranch if...
