Anyone have experience with black Simm bulls? Opinions? I've been reading they aren't giant calf makers like they used to be.
I have a black blaze face simm bull that came from a black sim cow I bought last year. He's built alright IMO. Just shipped his Momma off. I'm debating keeping him to use next year or shipping him off too. I was just curious about the breed stereotypes nowadays. Old timers around have told me not a good idea. But the guy i got them from said he's not pulled a calf in a long time. He runs Simm cows and has used only Simm bulls until this year.
It'd be convenient is where my mind keeps going back to. He's got a half sister here and that's it. He would be new blood. And his Dam was a perfect cow in build and temperament. Was around 1500 lbs. And lengthy…
He hit the ground on this farm. Was an average size calf to what I'm used to. Sire was a registered solid red Simm bull, well built. Weighed 1900 if i recall correctly.
These two pictures are from early June.
Would you put him on a trailer?
