[QUOTE="JustSimmental, post: 834464, member: 14624"] Simm-- Blk Angus do the best Simm-- Red Angus are ok depends alot on the Red Angus as they tend to be low on growth and carcass merits, but one redeeming quality I have found is they can help rid you of the diluter gene in Simm. Also red cattle do better in the heat. Brown Commitment has good carcass merits in RA Shorthorn isnt too bad. I dont like their big frames and birth weights or their huge milk production that tends to increase maintenance costs for the brood cow herd. Serious hay burners. Shorthorn Angus be a good one to cross, but now we are talking Murray Grey and not Simm. I really like Beefmaster as I used to have quite a few of them. The biggest issue with them is the 50% Brahman, which kills the carcass merit. 3/8's Brahman or above is a carcass merit killer. Good in the heat tho. beefmaster Simm wouldnt be a good cross. BM x PBAN would be. Charolais are good cattle, but those huge frames I dont want or need. They have had some issues with calving troubles in the past and I know they have been working on that like Simmental has. Great growth trailts, moderate milk production, which is really good, first rate REA, but marbling -- not good. won't work well with Simm Limmys just have few redeeming qualities for meat unless you are selling to Laura's lean beef; REA is great, but the rest including growth and Milk is pretty bad. Won't work with Simm Simm --- Blk Angus work best JS [/QUOTE]
