[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1105877, member: 18809"] If you are talking pounds, then I think that the answer is obvious; Simmental. Look across the board at weaning weights of Hereford cross calves and Simmental cross calves; Simmental will usually outweigh. They are bigger framed, heavier muscled, and gain well. Now, with that said, you can put the best Hereford against the worst Simmental and kick the Simmental's rump on gains, so make sure you are using a bull that supports those heavy weaning weights (Simmental EPD's are pretty darn accurate!). Just because a bull has big weaning weights DOES NOT MEAN he is not calving ease! But with brangus cows, I doubt you will have calving problems. If you really want to pound the scale, go with a full blood Simmental. Those Fleck cattle can really add pounds... Just the opinion of a fan of the breed! :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
