Simmy Bull Uno Mas

Does anyone have any calves on the ground or seen any calves by the Simmy bull Uno Mas?  I was talking with my Select Sires rep about him the other day.  I'm not a simmy breeder but I was thinking of trying him on a few Angus cows.

Me personally, I wouldn't be keen on using him on my Angus based cows. He has Dream On and Goldmine in his pedigree and both are not bulls I would use on Angus.

I'm not really familiar with Simmental bloodlines...so, why do you say this?

Dream On and definitely not Goldmine don't work well on Angus cows. Goldmine throws some fancy calves with absolutley no muscle to them which most Angus don't need cause they already have that covered. Dream On is kind of the same way as Goldmine just not as drastic. Got to be a powerhouse cow (which most Angus are not) for those 2 to work the best. That's why both are better when bred to PB simmy cows who typically need to be fancier. Both bulls have their place and throw good calves but Angus cows aren't what made them famous. Dream On was proably bred to thousands of Angus cows and I've seen very few Dream On halfbloods out of Angus cows that were very good. Never seen good Goldmine halfblood unless it was out of clubby breeding.
