[QUOTE="rv@L&R, post: 496002, member: 7326"] SimAngus ... I think your fleck stats are outdated ... I too am a SimAngus breeder but I successfully use fleck genetics and have zero calving problems, 72 lb calves, balanced strong EPD's, IMF scores of 3.5, reasonable frame scores, and adult females weighing 1100-1250 lbs. There are extraordinary fleck breeders out there who produce great modern day cattle that have a place in the market, including the market of creating Sim-Angus or purebred Sim cattle. Our end product cattle after crossbreeding are 7/8 purebreds and are highly desired. My disagreement with your post was the blanket fleck statements ... my agreement with your post was the push for more efficiently framed cattle. :cboy: Here's another pic (the calf in the previous post was a 3/4 SimAngus) ... this one is as well ... this heifer below (picture shot a couple of months ago) is about to calve but will weigh after calving around 1250 lbs.
