[QUOTE="spinandslide, post: 632143, member: 5559"] I admit, I was hesitant to post this thread, given some of the strong opinions some have on bulls and cows here..:) but Id like information. Im looking through my catalogs, as we will be AI-ing soon. Id like some thoughts on some of these bulls. Im looking for two actually. The one will be for my heifer that just calved, who is Brangus. This is her. (shes standing abit splayed, hope you all can see past that. [ATTACH type="full" alt="jam.jpg"]2[/ATTACH] I have debated on breeding her back to a Brangus or thinking of possibly a simmental, to produce a Simbrah. Have been hearing alot lately of Hybrid Vigor and how to acheive this is to cross back on a different, complementary breed. She calved to an angus bull a week ago and had no problems, was perfect and is a great momma. Here are two I was thinking about Lucky Man from ABS (Simmental) [url]http://abs-bs.absglobal.com/beef/simmental.asp?CodTouro=237SM0928[/url] Sunrise of Brinks (brangus) I cant find the link to him! The other is my heifer that I raised on the bottle..she is Angus. She will not be bred til May of NEXT year, as shes a May baby, late for me. Im concerned about calving ease with her, obviously, and would like to see a bull add abit of length to her back..am I right in this thinking? This is her. [ATTACH type="full" alt="jewelfeb1.jpg"]1[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="jewelfeb2.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] Some bulls for her...Im thinking mabey an angus for the first year, as they have low BW calves? but I saw the low BW Simmentals as well?

Calves will be used for freezer beef for ourselves or to sell as freezer beef. If heifer, and "good" may be kept back in the herd.
