Artificial Insemination (AI) for Cattle
Friend bought an Old Tank and found some older Angus and Simmental Genetics in there... does anyone have experience with these bulls?

[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1657685, member: 12607"] Ken Caryl Mr. Angus(I'm old enough to remember when he was popular) was, last I read, the oldest confirmed carrier of the Developmental Duplication (DD) genetic defect...so, did it originate in him, or further back, but no genetic material to test? IDK. We used Single Nick Doubletime, and a couple of sons/grandsons, back in the day. Made really good commercial SimAngus cows... but you'll likely get some diluted reds/blacks. I'd certainly consider using Bold Leader(Fleckvieh) on the right cows. Here's a thread, over at another site, on 'Resurrection of the 1980s Simmentals'... might be worth a read to see if there's pertinent info on any of those old Simmental sires that would persuade - or dissuade - you about using them. [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.steerplanet.com/bb/the-big-show/the-resurrection-of-the-1980's-simmentals/[/URL] Nostalgia sometimes can get the best of you. Yeah, those old bulls may have really been something back in the day - and some still have something to offer today... but sometimes our memories fool us. If you look at EPDs on some of those bulls(I just did)... you may find yourself questioning yourself... 'Do I really want to go that far backwards on one trait or another?" [/QUOTE]
