[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1129584, member: 9096"] I will be going back to Saler again, I found those cows were quite meaty, but they did get tall, and from what I see of the Limos that can be the case as well bcarty, where are you located? What do your cows eat? My weaning weights on my better cows is usually 700 lbs, not so good cows or good heifers is 600, plus or minus 25 lbs for if it's a bull or heifer calf. I was contemplating Simm as well, but don't really see what I'd get from them other than bigger frames that I can't get in other breeds... Salers are good mothers with small udders and good milk, Gelbveih on that keeps their size acceptable and really puts meat on their backs and butts. I'm uncertain if I'll go back to shorthorns for a while.. they have good milk but unless you have an exceptional bull, the meatiness isn't there. [/QUOTE]
