Short trip

[kenny thomas]

I made a short trip today to look at a couple Simmental bulls. I picked up ClinchValley86 along the way and pretty sure he cant find his way back where the bulls are.
Had a good visit with Simme and seen some very good cattle.
Will go back and pick up the 2 bulls around September 1st.
He has 3 bred heifers i would have room for also.
Just a short Sunday drive.
Started in Virginia, through Tennessee. North Carolina, Georgia, and South Carolina. 478 miles, so just a Sunday drive except for the traffic and rain near Ashville NC.

Wife just ask how much the bulls were going to cost. I told her i had bought the Leachman 600U bull November 4th 2022 when he was born, never seen it until today, and price hadn't been discussed. Not sure i convinced her.

When will you get the Leachman bull? Do you have any Angus cows that have been around the block a time or ten that he is going to breed?

East of you. Down into Clayton, GAon Hwy 23 and turned east into SC.

We go over by Clayton to see the Foxfire museum.
I grew up reading the Foxfire books and I still use some of the things I learned 50+ yrs ago.

Going that route around lunch time, a person should stop at Fat Buddies BBQ in Franklin, NC. If earlier, the Dillard House in Dillard, GA for the expensive breakfast buffet.

You decided to get that other one that you sent me pics of too? Two of the nicest bull calves I have seen this year. Very impressed with the weaning weights. If those bred heifers are anywhere near as nice as those bulls, then I can see why you would want them.
Anyone in the southeast looking for black Simm or SimmAngus cattle, I would strongly suggest you contact @simme

The bred heifers were actually better than the bulls. And super docile.

That doesn't surprise me in the least. @simme knows the results he wants from his program, and knows how to make it happen. Never met the man., nor seen his operation, or even talked on the phone. But we had some PM conversations about that bull. I could tell that A) the man knows what he is doing, and that B) you can take what he says to the bank. He is EXACTLY the kind of person you'd want to deal with in this cattle business.

Is that one way or round trip?
