[QUOTE="shortybreeder, post: 1133167, member: 21626"] I also gave simmental a shot last year on one of my commercial cows, and you should have seen the look on our breeder's face when I mentioned I wanted to try it... Just like what Flying L said above... he thought she was gonna get ripped apart and we would lose her. So far, out of the 4 calves that have been born, that cow was the only one completely unassisted!! :lol: We actually went simangus, because our breeder had some Encore semen in his tank and he said that Encore has been turning out some really nice calves. I would have to agree with that! When we were moving the cow/calf pairs out to pasture and were tagging/tattooing/etc. my dad grabbed hold of the little Encore bull calf and thought he was 2 months old, when in actuality he was only about 3 weeks old!! Gotta love that hybrid vigor! :D (the calf is 1/4 sim, 1/4 black angus, 1/4 herf, 1/4 hol) Edit: The mom is also only working off 1 quarter but the calf had complete access to good quality hay and grain.
