[QUOTE="Matt Schiel, post: 154892, member: 81"] Hey Trin, But getting back to your original question of which breed to use, my biased opinion would be Simbrah. Depending on what your cows breed make up is, you can find a Simbrah with more or less Brahman blood to use on your cows. You will find that many Simbrah bulls have at least one star for tenderness and many are two star tenderness. We have not found that the marbling test is as accurate as the tenderness test. The bull we are using now has no stars for marbling but has sired steers that have graded choice :D . Also, many of the Simbrah bulls that are being produced today will be solid red or black and go back at least one generation being that same way. So, you should not have any wild colors that get a calf docked at the sale barn. I can say with confidence that Simbrah sired steers can make money in the feedlot and the heifer mates will be easy to sell because of their maternal aspects. If you would like any more information about Simbrah bulls please send me a PM and I can get some literature for you. Thanks, Matt [/QUOTE]
