[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1839931, member: 42782"] The rancher across the road (SW Oregon) like Simms. His best cows are Simms but they are yellow Simms. So is the bull. He has been taking a ding on the calves because they are not black. To buy these homozygous black Simm bulls cost 10 or $15,000. I was looking on Select Sires bulls because I used a Jersey on my heifer AI, sex selected for a heifer. I checked out their beef division. Select Sires has 8 homozygous Simm blacks all sex selected and 2 of them selected for bull calves. I was talking to the rancher today. He could AI to one of his yellow Simm cows (they look like big overstuffed couches but they're cows) and create his own Black Simm herd bull for $70, that would throw nothing but big black calves.
