[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14441"] Rachel, First, before anyone advises you on a specific bull, just how SMALL is she? If she is extremely small, you want to use a small bull of a small breed. If she is average for her age, I can recommend some Simmental bulls depending on what AI services are available to you - Genex, ABS, Select Sire, etc. Simmental come in Black or Red. There are probably some old yellow and white ones available, or red and white. I would recommend a good solid red or black, because that's what the industry wants to buy. So we need to know about what frame size, body condition, and weight. Jeanne > It will be about 3 months till I > will have her bred.
