[QUOTE="elkwc, post: 1317670, member: 22295"] Simm/Angus are hard to find in the area I'm in. When looking for females recently I found one herd within 90 miles. He didn't want to sell anything at the time so didn't go look. There are several Balancer breeders. I helped select one last Jan for the herd I help with. The jury is still out on him. He was 13 months old when we bought him. Used him on 9 hd last summer. He sure stalled out and seemed to be a hard doer. But after spending the winter on good wheat he has hit a growth spurt and starting to look better. I like easy fleshing cattle and time will tell if he is or not. His bloodlines are from the Judd ranch in KS. His sire lacked the frame I desire so picked him as he was out of a large framed Angus cow. Still feel he will be fairly moderate framed. He is well muscled. His first calves are small yet and have enough muscling but not as heavy muscled as those out of the old Angus bull we recently sold. As for Herefords I would use one. Tried to buy Hereford or black baldie females all winter with no luck. The ones I found sold high. They are in demand now in this area. I bought good registered Angus females for several hundred dollars less than I could buy a Hereford for. I plan on AIing them to a Hereford bull. The black and red baldie is the hot item in this area. There are few Charolais breeders and fewer Simm/Angus. Red Angus is really hot also and many herds showing up using them now.
