Used on 3 PB Angus Mitty heifers. All 3 unassisted and really nice. Only complaint is that we got no chrome except a little white on the belly. Was hoping for baldies. Used him on a Macho daughter and it just didn't go well and we will leave it at that.

His calves color almost always follows the dams color pattern.

one thing that everyone needs to realize that i think most people know just forget about sometimes... calving ease and birthweights are affected just as much by the dam as the sire, so if you have a clubby bred momma and your breeding to a "calving ease" clubby sire such as carpe diem you cant expect a tiny little calf everytime.
