[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 157727, member: 2862"] Pat, your commercial herd sounds similar to mine. Do you plan on increasing the herd size at all? If so, I'd consider two routes: 1) PB Angus bull. Then the critter you get out of your one registered animal could be papered as well. Might be the start of a purebred operation. 2) If you want to stay commercial, I'd think about a lower birthweight Simm bull to cross on your Angus. Get yourself some Angus/Simm heifers, then cross these up to a Shorthorn after you're built up a few animals. If you're not going to increase herd size, and you have the necessary grain to put the weight on them, run a terminal PB Simm bull. If you don't have much in the way of grain for them, stick to a high gaining Hereford or Shorthorn bull. Rod [/QUOTE]
