Ok I need a little information/advice. I have a group of angus crossbred cows (most are solid black and over 75% angus). I have recently been infusing some simm genetics and my cows almost all fall between frame 5-6. All average 1000 pounds. I do not want to add any more continental genetics and I would like to stay within the angus breed, but I would like to add some serious thickness to my cows. I really like my simangus cows and they are really thick but the frame just keeps getting bigger and bigger and I don't like that. I would really like to get to frame 4.5-5.5 and weighing 1250lbs. Genetically my cows are mostly influenced by (angus) Connealy Lead On, Butch's Connection, Gar Predestined, and (Simm) Daume Legend.
What angus bulls are going to move me towards adding thickness without sacrificing my maternal ability, fertility, color, docility, and growth. I really like the look of the Scottish cattle (Dunlouise Jipsey Earl) just not completely sold on all the grass based genetics out there.
