[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1527569, member: 12607"] Goes back on dam's side, top and bottom, to that great old Fleckvieh bull from the '80s, ABR Sir Arnold G809. [url=https://postimg.cc/image/rxunk4wx9/][img]https://s22.postimg.cc/rxunk4wx9/ABR_Sir_Arnold_G809.jpg[/img][/url] Base herd of Simangus cows here were sort of linebred to him for 20+years by use of several sons and a full brother, then a couple of home-raised bulls, before we brought in additional outside genetics (Angus, Shorthorn, then more Simmental) AlaCowMan... back in the 80s, we were in practice in southern middle TN... worked on lots of Beefmasters back in those days...may have been more of them than Angus in our area... but at least a couple of our big clients saw the docks against eared cattle coming, and started running Simmental bulls over their Beefmaster cows... granted, they were using the big flowery yellow & whites that were most common in that time, as was I, on my beef cows, but those calves really mashed the scales. I was using calving-ease Fleckvieh-influenced bulls over Holstein heifers we'd raised, in order to moderate frame and increase muscling. Ended up selling them as springers, so I never got to see those FleckXHO calves; bet they made some real good cows for somebody, and some dandy steers. [/QUOTE]
