[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1819390, member: 24816"] Of the choices you mentioned, and in the interest of uniformity my first pick would Simmental. Based on where you are if it’s similar to southeast OK, I’m not sure how many Simmentals are around and you’d have to make sure they were the kind that would slick off good and fast for the summer. Here Simmentals are very popular, and could find several options probably for homozygous black/polled etc. I prefer a straight Simmental to SimAngus when buying one to cross. Around here it would be hard to find many good quality “black” Herefords and especially homozygous black. That’s why I’d stick with traditional Herefords if I were buying one. I’m currently using a 3/4 Angus BWF that is not homozygous black and being that we have mostly Hereford and heterozygous black cows we get several red calves along with black calves sone white faced and some solid. The last bull we bought is a red white face Simmental, slick haired but again not sure how they’d do in OK heat. [/QUOTE]
