If you are looking for some Angus bulls, Northern Improvement is great, or if you want a little more style, his son Juneau is good too. Have used both with alot of success in both heifers and bulls/steers. Good luck though.

Since you asked you might look at my bull Simme Valley Macho As U - top 1% for Calving Ease & Birth Weight and top 1% money index API (top 20% or better for Stay, Milk, Maternal Calving Ease & REA.
He is recommended for use on British heifers (of breeding size). Nebraska Univ used 65 units of semen on commercial Angus heifers last year.
He will give you show quality calves, with lots of guts & muscle and good disposition.
Couldn't resist the devil made me do it!
You can see him on my web site:

Northern is good

Since you have Angus and Simmi crosses, are you looking to get into a purebred op or are you looking to stay cross and go clubby. That is what you want to answer first. There are good bulls out there, you just have to look into what you want and factor that in there,

Here is my list I consider depending on breed (these are a little more club calf choices)

Maine ----- Ali or Witch Doctor
Angus ------ Old School, Legend, Norther Improvement, Griz
Simmental ---- Macho

I have had good success with all. Except I have never used Macho but he is on my to do list for Simmental Easy calving bull.

If you like red, Basin Hobo 79E from ABS might bear some looking into.

So when are you going to breed us a red one of those? Sure would make some nice red Simangus!

Well, nothing SIRED by my Macho can be red, but I have some daughters that are heterzygous black. I plan on breeding a few to a red bull. Might get a red grandchild!
