Pics of Heifers

Four heifers from my last bull. I gathered some cows to pull their steers and these were with the group.

fitz, what are their pedigrees? That white spot is attacting my attention so would like to know. They look good to me.

 

[kerley]

They look real good to me.

Nice girls. How're they bred?

Good looking heifers. They look like they have Simm influence in them. Keepers for sure!

Really good looking heifers!

Appreciate the comments. They are commercial SimAngus.

Didn't you buy a nice bull in the last couple of months? If so are you going to use him on the heifers?

I thought so.

What kind of bull were they out of!

 

[fitz]

3way, they're out of an Angus Bull I had over Simmental cows. Yes sooner, They will be around 14 and 1/2 months first of Dec. If I keep them they will be some of his first.

Do you go back on them with a Sim bull or a SimAngus?

 

[fitz]

I'm going with the crossbreed this time. I'll use a SimAngus on everything and see how it works out.

fitz, you and I are the same path. My simangus heifers came from an established breeder. Over the last year, I have used an Angus bull, albeit, one that my not have been that great. I am also able to do my own AI now which gives me some options. I am in the process of getting another bull for the spring. I may also go to SimAngus. Are you able to do any AI?

No Sir, I use natural service only. I would like to learn to AI, but I just turn a Bull out and let him watch them for me. If I were closer to all Angus sired SimAngus girls I would be more inclined to go back with a Simmental Bull. I still have a number of straight simmental cows and I wanted to continue with the Angus influence. That's why I chose the crossbred Bull this time.

fitz, mine are 50/50 crosses. I have one PB simmental sired by Flying B Cut Above. I AIed her to Top Hand (a SS angus). I have semen from two simangus bulls, Rimrock and In Force. I also have Top Hand, War Party and Composure. I plan to upgrade my bull which is a Registered LJ New Frontier son. I plan to look at the Boyd Angus Bulls. They are only a few miles from me. They have some bulls that sell off the farm that start in the $3500 range.

The heifers you posted have the same quality to them that I see in mine so I thought they were SimAngus. You get to know that simmental look in their head. I like your heifers, good luck. I hope they meet your objectives whatever they may be.
