[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1541274, member: 14585"] Mr Amigo ce 11.8 (Top 25% for Simmental) bw .2 (top 15%) a fine choice for breeding Same Breed heifers. Amigo's birth weight adjustment 3.1 lbs angus to simmental bw adjustment 2.9 lbs + .2 = bw +3.1 lbs (bottom 20%) fine for cows... not 1st calf heifers Black Angus breed average bw 1.3 lbs + 2.9 = bw 4.2 lbs (bottom 5% for Black Angus) Desired end goal for the 10 commercial heifers = red calves and to register all the calves as simmentals options A. Mr Amigo or similar bull and cross your fingers B. Breed to Angus calving ease bull 1st year, sell all of the calves to pay bills and buy more semen and then use Mr Amigo semen for the 2nd and 3rd calves to produce red calves to register as Simmental. Your other stated goal was easy heifer calving, the safest way to ensure that is to use a same breed calving ease bull. They're your heifers, do what you want... but I'd recommend plan B as best route to reach your goal. [/QUOTE]
