[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 985816, member: 18809"] We have a heifer out of him, just AI'd her to a Beef Maker, a simm calving ease bull. She is on the small side, which surprised us since her dam is a TC Freedom cow that was huge (at least a 6.5 frame) and was shipped because she was just too hard to keep weight on being so big. I am happy the heifer is small, but I am just amazed at the difference between her frame size and her dam's frame size. We bought the pair when the calf was just days old, from a dispersal sale out of OK during the drought in the fall of 2011. First registered Angus we have owned, and I am not impressed. She was a year old the end of August, and we had to get her vet checked and set her up with a CIDR just to get her to cycle at the end of November since she had not had a heat yet (our simm heifers typically have a first heat by 8 or 9 months of age). She did cycle, and has not returned to cycle and has passed over two cycles so I am assuming she got pregnant. We will take her in with a big group at about 70 days to get them all preg checked. Like I said, not impressed. She is a typical Angus, all gut and no butt! Hoping the simmental will fix that ;-) [/QUOTE]
