New simbull

[edde_1]

Just bought this bull to my crossbreedprogram. It´s an Embyobull from Lewis farm, Canada.
His out of LFE Mr Lewis 316E and MRL Miss 560P. Dont know much about them, but its a unic chance to get a embryo bull as a crossbreeder in Sweden. And i think he will get me more easyfeed cows in the future.

Tell me what you think:

Den ser inte illa ut. He has good muscle and depth and lseems to be well fed.
:welcome: back by the way, it has been years... hard to believe that you can put up with the folks at alternativ.nu. :banana: :banana: :banana: :hide:

Now that's what a simmi ought to look like. I don't get to see many Simmentals like that in the U.S. of A.

the older simms i remember ,, had that dual purpose look,, milk cow blues

That depended a lot on which lines was imported in the first place

Something about this thread gives me a strange sense of deja vu.

Shes a char x sim cow, have 40 of them, great cows.

He weight only 90 pounds (ww 770 punds and yw 1362 pounds) just like a swedish angus :D I dont want them smaller. Prefer 100 punds and no i dont pull any calfes, if a cow can´t give birth to a 100 pound calf shes out of here.

I'd guess the folks doing the developing think so, wouldn't you?

Real meat man. The Lewis Farm in Canada has a good reputation.
Everyone here ooh's & ahh's over this kind of Simmental, but may also be the same ones that would complain about the calving ease of the Simmental breed. The new modern Simmental may not be the "hulk" like this bull, but we have improved CE better than any other breed. And when you can get 1200# - 1400# yearling weights on 5.5 frame bulls, I think they are thick enough!
Yes, I've lived thru the whole gammet of "styles". We started breeding AI to Simmental in l969. I still LOVE the great variety in the spotted cattle. But, due to unpopular demand, we all got away from the spots. Spots indicated "hard doer's" to the general population, and those frame 9, gutless wonders were very hard doer's! The spots didn't make them hard doer's - the gutless frame is what did it.
We started out w/ frame 5's and we're back to them now. I LOVE what we have now.
