Black Baldy, Simmental cross

[jayhawk83]

Any experience with crossing Black baldy cows/heifers with a Blazed face/homozygous black bull? From what research I've done, this is a great cross for calving ease and great growth. Would having this cross keep the white faces and black bodies on the calves?

Yes. :nod:

Yes and Yes.
Why do you think this is a great X for calving ease?

With EPD's in consideration of course, using calving ease Simm bulls with high yielding weaning weights on black baldy cows/heifers would not only produce productive calves, but also maintain a higher percentage of heterosis than putting the baldies back with an angus or hereford bull, correct?
