[QUOTE="Brandywine, post: 236249, member: 4243"] Thanks for all of the comments I agree somewhat on bward's comments. It disheartens me sometimes that the simmentals are more interested in looking like the angus. But they do have their differences and that is what I like about them. We have considered trying some of the fleckvieh bloodlines, but have been scared off by the BW's. That is why we are looking into bulls like macho and some of the more muscular black simmental bulls. However, we are showing our cattle, and to keep up with the current trends and do any good with the judges, you have to give them what they want. I have plenty of calves in the field that have the classic simmental look, not red and white, but made more like the old blood simmy's. I actually took one to a show and was told by the judge that she was not feminine, she was massive, but would make a great brood cow! However, he loved our Macho Heifer and she was grand champion simmental. So what do you do!!?! Jeanne, we will have Macy at Sweepstakes, I hope that you will get to come over and see her. Thanks again for all of the comments on the bull, like I said we haven't shown one before and just wanted some opinions to see if we were on the right track, we dont expect him to be a grand champ, hes going to the field after show season! We figured if we were going to put him up and feed him, might as well show him!! :D [/QUOTE]
