[QUOTE="edrsimms, post: 688825, member: 10970"] First of all --- Charolais rank in the high growth, high lean, zero marbling, large framed, zero BF, low feed efficiency category and this is why they cross them with Angus to bring up the desireable meat traits and for the love of God bring down those frame scores. Second of all; is your heifer a red fleckvieh Simm or PB Simm? If she is and carries the Diluter gene then yes, sometimes you will have the rat-tailed calf with curly hair and I have even seen them completely lose their hair later in life. Rat-tail calves are typically slow gainers and therefore need to be taken out of the gene pool, because no one wants them. Third-- see one and two -- will not be good freezer beef --- sell sell sell And Last--- If this heifer is a red diluter you need to breed her to a Red Non-diluter Simm Bull like: WS Beef Maker or Red Dream or better yet a good Angus like SS Objective or Blue Moon 4407M Ed [/QUOTE]
