[QUOTE="simme, post: 1727065, member: 40418"] I did not see this question until now. Been occupied with the ice, snow and wind storm that came through Sunday. I have never used any of the Conley bulls. But definitely agree that Lookout on a simmental cow adds some style and a very nice clean look based on what I have seen. I only have a very few cows mainly to entertain myself in retirement. So many bulls that I would like to try but limited by the number of cows. Makes me think of this. That old simmental bull Meyer Ranch 734 from 1989 was not the most attractive. But crossed with an angus, there were lots of very attractive females. No telling the dollar valve of the offspring of that bull or of semen sales. Using angus in a breedup program has long been a thing. Then I attended a sale at Partisover Ranch in Georgia in 1996, I think. Lots of simangus females sired by 734 and others produced from Randy's angus herd. Beautiful females that outsold the purebred offering. $20 to 30 thousand range for some of those if I remember correctly. People seemed to be shocked that crossbred cattle would sell for those numbers. Seems like that was the beginning of the era of simangus as a destination as opposed to a breed-up path. At least, I saw it that way. [/QUOTE]
