fitz, that blaze face cow is the prototype of what I want my herd to look like. I will come and get her if you will sell her. :D
All nice. After my visit to Fire Sweep Simmental Ranch, I returned home and looked at my cows. I got improvements to make in my herd but one thing I am sure of: I love the Simangus. I am never sure of photos but your cows look about the same size as FSSR.
BTW: I know Kris gives me crap for "breeding down". I am producing some quarter bloods as a result of breeding half bloods with angus semen. I have been doing that because I wanted my heifers to get past that first calf. I actually like that quarter blood combination!
Thanks. Both of you folks have some great looking cattle.
That white face sim is the last registered cow left here. I do use registered Bulls but my cows are, with a very few exceptions at this point, commercials that I've raised here. With that in mind I'm not overly concerned with percentages but I don't want to get too far away from the Simmental breed. That's my reason for going with composite bulls on the last two brought in.
Right or wrong the size and look I should get with 1/4 bred heifer shown is pretty close to where I'm trying to go
during my swan song era.
