    Most of my cows are chx and sim, i usually give them an ai ch bull as i sell them this time of year and buy in a springer or 2 as replacements. I am now considering keeping a heifer or 2 on every year as a replacement but was wondering what would be the best type of ai bulls to give.I was thinking bout a sim bull or a good milky ch bull but im not sure which bulls would be the best . any opinions would be great. Also i bought 2 chx springers y/day ,they will be just gone 2 year old when they calf and i was wondering what nuts i should give them as the still have a bit of growing to do?

    Obviously you like big cows so stick with ch or sim, should be no problem getting milky sims.
    When are the 2 heifers due to calve? I reckon any general beef ration would be fine for them, just don't feed them all the way to calving. Older thread on here somewhere.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
