Getting back on track.

Here is a Bull that has produced some good calves here.

W/C Lock N Load 1143Y

 

[Silver]

That's quite a neck on that bull.

I haven't seen the pedigree on this one, but there may be some Lock N Load in the background somewhere... :lol:

However, if Lock N Load leaves good calves then I will not argue against his use!

He is perfect for short neck cows. Lol

I'm looking into using a Baldy simangus/simmental bull on black angus cows. Trying to find the best one for WW and retaining heifers. Some that I've found have really low milk numbers. With retaining heifers I don't want cows that do not milk well. Thanks for any help!

You should look at HPF OPTIMIZER.
ASA 2728015

Hey Lucid, do you have any photos of Optimizer calves that you have bred?

These are my September calves taken a couple days ago. The calf on the far right is an Optimizer. Bull calf with White on his face.

This heifer calf is an Optimizer and she is extremely docile.

The heifer calf nursing is an Optimizer.

This is an Optimizer bull from fall 2018. This is the third Optimizer bull sold to this buyer. He likes Optimizer.

If you want WW and YW. Plus beautiful females and you like larger frame size. You might consider Hooks Broadway offered by Select Sires. Be aware of his CE! He has a nice Blaze not apparent in this picture.

 

[Silver]

That is a much better looking animal IMHO.

My cattle respect hot wire but it would take them seconds to detect that cable wasn't hot & crawl under it on their knees & belly if necessary. :lol2: :cowboy:

I would take a look into Fleckvieh, but I seem to be in minority for SIMM influence.

Do you currently have Fleck influence in you cattle?

What about optimizers milk number? Anyone with any experience with how optimizers heifers milk?

That's quite a neck on that bull.

Silver - he happens to be maybe one of the most popular bull producer in our breed. Very popular. Excellent offspring.

It may well be that he is a popular bull. And he may well produce excellent offspring. At least in this picture I do not care for him.

The popular Lock N Load that I think Jeanne is referring to is Remington Lock N Load54U. He has sired many bulls that are selling semen today. And Wernings catalog still has a number of them in their sale this year.

Not the group that we are currently running. Looking to buy some purebred Fleck in near future.

Apparently the term blaze face has different connotations depending on one's perspective and locale. ;-)
