[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1541891, member: 968"] SOB, you imply that there is a major difference between Simmental heifers and these Red Angus heifers. Richmn has either purchased high quality heifers or is doing a great job raising his heifers. He has already said how much they weigh and I also stated that they were probably BIGGER than MY heifer if he was anywhere near close to their weights. There is very little difference BETWEEN breeds, anymore. Lots of difference of quality WITHIN breeds. Richmn - you have a good idea breeding them to a quality Simmental bull and will be able to register them as 1/2 bloods. I have only been raising them for 48 years. I've been through all the hard calving, hard pulls, dopey calves back in the 70's and 80's. The Simmental breed has come a LONG way from those days. If you want to feel more secure about your calving results, have someone palpate them and do a pelvic measurement. Some heifers are plenty big on the outside, but have no space inside. (ALL BREEDS). Edit: I have NEVER pelvic measured any of my heifers. [/QUOTE]
