Yes, IF THE BULL is a Purebred Simmental bull, the calf CAN BE registered as a 1/2 blood Simmental and I still think you might be able to register it a a percentage Simbrah, but you would have to check with ASA on the Simbrah. I have been breeding Simmental for 30 years - started out with commercial cattle and upgraded. Jeanne <A HREF="http://www.SimmeValley.com" TARGET="_blank">http://www.SimmeValley.com</A>
