2017 – Red Hill Farms SimGenetics Fall Bulls
Red Hill SimGentics 18-Month-Old Bulls
The Simmental bull management has been identical to that of the Red Angus bulls – as all the
bulls ran in the same pastures and were fed from the same troughs. The Fall Bulls were weaned
in April and May 2016. After a brief dry lot weaning period, the bulls ran on fescue pasture and
free choice mineral during the Spring and Summer. Yearling weight, frame score, scrotal cir-
cumference, and ultrasound data were taken on 9/12/16. It would have been easy to step up the
energy in the diet and add 300 pounds to the yearling weights, but we feel this would have had a
negative impact on the bulls’ longevity and chose the slower growing forage development. Since
that date, the bulls were on stockpiled fescue and soyhulls (1% of body weight) until mid-Jan-
uary when a high-roughage TMR was added to their diet. Breeding Soundness Exams were
performed on January 31, 2017 and the scrotal measurements printed in this catalog are from
that date. These bulls have the right condition (fi t and trim) and age to service cows immediately.

294C belongs to Ty, and he is excited to offer this white faced fi rst calf from Princess. 294C was used to clean up the
fall SimAngus heifers so he may be in lower BCS than the other fall SimAngus bulls. What an amazing set of EPDs – it is
diffi cult to fi nd a bull in the top 10% of the breed for CE that also ranks in the top10% for WW and YW. Note the top3%
for marbling and top 2% for both API and TI. 294C is structurally correct in his skeleton and moves like a cat on perfect
feet. He also has a very calm disposition (top 10% DOC). Princess is now nursing an outstanding 231A heifer calf and has
a nice udder.
