WCS Glock 7118E 3283785 Purebred Simmental Sire we used on our cow herd. The first babies arrived in March 2019. They were everything we have been searching for and more! He had a great Disposition and very easy to handle!
We sure do miss having him around but he gave us several daughters and son's. Purchased from Western Cattle Source was almost four hears old when we lost him, but he left an awesome group of progeny.

TCL Habernos Huck 3071002 Half Blood Simmental Sire: Haberno Y81 by BMR Explorer son by Westfall Voyager. Dam: TLC 8005 W9104 ET Quarter Angus (New Day 8005) Quarter FB Braunvieh TLC Buds Betsy P4154 Donor OB51080
He was one of those calves that just stood out of the pack! His granddam TLC Buds Betsy P4154 was full sister to National Show Heifer of the Year TLC Buds Star R5150. So adding him to the herd meant keeping good looks and udder quality. He was an experiment in our breeding program to keep them half Simmental, quarter Angus and quarter Braunvieh. It has worked and daughters are keepers. Early maturing and easy keepers with those beautiful udders we hoped to get.
We have used in herd on several of our Simmental/Maine/Angus cows. He has calving ease and his calves gain well also. Keeping several daughters as replacement base herd. His daughters were bred to Flying B Cutter and WCS Glock daughters. He grew up to be a massive bull!
Huck is kind of stuck on himself and thinks he is the king of the pasture.
