We have a dozen replacement black baldie heifers that we bred to a black angus heifer bull this year simply because he is extreamly low BW and claving is a breeze with him. But next summer i was concidering shopping around for a black simmi bull to breed to this group.
The heifers are from straight black angus cows bred to horned hereford bulls. A real nice little group of baldie heifers. I would like to retain the baldie look if possible, but i definetly do not want feather necked black calves so breeding back to hereford aint an option.
I like the simmi angus cross heifers too. Thought it would be a good cross to get some simmi on these hereford angus baldies. So whats everyones thoughts and experiences? Breed to a straight black simmi bull or a black blaze faced simmi bull? I know BW and calving ease is an issue with simmi bulls on my style of heifers. But i want that good growth as we calve April 1st on and pull the calves off sometime in October.
Thanks in advance.
