[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1160885, member: 22072"] Back in the day when sims were sims, the point in crossing them was bigger everything. What you got in the end was a giant heavy milker. When my kids started showing sims in the early 90s, our herd was almost all sim, sim crosses. We ran sim bulls. They were all colors of red and different patterned white markings.. As the girls showed, the color turned to solid black in the show ring. We never had a solid black show heifer, thats when one of our daughters bought an angus heifer. We then started buying angus bulls. Once we got that started, we started buying sim/angus bulls. If it were 1980 again and we were shown a todays sim, would have never gone that way. If we were wanting heterosis and i had my angus cows lined up, it would be hereford. I dont believe that a sim is even a sim anymore so why bother mixing it with a good angus cow anymore..thats my opinion, right or wrong. if you're wanting a real sim mix, you need a fleck sim...
