[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1527079, member: 12607"] Been working off my phone... see now that Simmgal was the OP, not Stocker Steve. Why swinging back to Sim? Been breeding some Simmental influence in our herd since 1983... A 10-yr foray back toward the Angus side of the equation didn't give us much of anything we were looking for except more black hide. The Simmentals have just been more consistent for us... and we like a white face, so we're preferentially selecting blaze/white-faced sires when we can find one that pushes all the other buttons. The Shorthorn deal presented mixed results... I still like some of our SH-cross cows, and will come back over some of those with another cross of SH, and still making a few half-blood SHs (have 3 in this fall's calf crop)... but I'm liking most all of my Braunvieh-cross heifers, too... just gotta see how they work out as cows. SimmGal... I don't know how they'd do... but a white SH bull should up your chances of getting blue roans... if I understand the genetics correctly... they're homozygous for the roaning trait, but have no red color genes. If I were gonna use a white bull... with the criteria you've set forward, this is the first one I'd try... combines that good ol' Saskvalley Bonanza and Jake's Proud Jazz.
