[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1845369, member: 40587"] Well, you know [USER=40418]@simme[/USER] has those 2 brothers to the two that [USER=8993]@kenny thomas[/USER] and [USER=38595]@ClinchValley86[/USER] got, and they look just as good if not better. But, I think he said he'd be ready to sell them June or July, though. Ever since I saw those bulls last year, and the one [USER=968]@Jeanne - Simme Valley[/USER] used for cleanup last year, I was wishing we had tried Simms on the Corriente herd. But I thought I was out of that business, til I bought that herd back last month. The man I sold them to in 22, had let them get all out of whack on calving, because he had just one sale barn Angus bull on 120 cows.
