[QUOTE="sim.-ang.king, post: 1317537, member: 14533"] Since you have lots of Balencer and Sim-Ang replacement around, hereford might work out, though you would never catch me with a hereford bull. :lol: As for why I said simmy have better carcass, is that the simmental breeders have spent a lot of time (ever since they first came to the USA) trying to improve on really three things that simmy's were lacking in. Which made farmers use them less than Brit bulls. Carcass (Rib eye Area, Yield, and Fat), Birth weight, and mature cow weight. Both BW, and mature weight have gone down, thanks to breaking from tradition, and allowing outcross, and breed up registration. Lots of people knock them for that, but in the big picture, the breed has improved in leaps and bounds. Also by breeding in large numbers of good carcass quality Angus bulls, many generation ago, into the breed, they have taken the once lean, low yielding simmy, to producing a steer that can out cut most steers on the rail. Pair that with a Angus on top, and the meat, weight, and feed conversion value go up with Sim-Ang steers. But like I said, there isn't much of a difference between the two, since Balencer uses Angus too. The simmy have just a bit better yield, and aren't quite as lean, so they grade higher. Most Sim-Ang also do better on feed. It's best that you do the research, and look at the data out there to make your final decision. Every state has bull test, with lots of verity to give you an idea of how the breed does. Good Luck [size=2]*not intended as a breed pimp post, or to degrade any other breed, and I am just stating my opinion on my study of current data. Use your own brain when selecting cattle.*[/size] [/QUOTE]
