[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1718684, member: 12607"] We used solid red SH sires over 3/4AN-1/4SM cows for about 10 years. No roans, only one or two with white markings... out of older cows carrying the Simmental 'spotting' gene; did get a few reds which took a hit at the salebarn. The steers were, for the most part, the best we ever raised. One set of 9 steers, from a progeny-test breeding trial we did for Waukaru Shorthorns, went to a feedlot trial with ~150 other steers (Shorthorns, Angus, SimAngus), and all finished in the top half, most in the top 20%. One of ours was the top steer for ADG, WDA, HCW, REA/cwt, % Retail Product; finished low Choice YG 3. Made me feel pretty good about the genetics in our cow herd. Most of the heifers were very good, though some sired by extreme high-growth epd sires were too hard-keeping, and flunked out pretty early in their careers. [/QUOTE]
