Just wondering if anyone has any calving experience on this bull.
More so wondering what their gestation period was.
We have 1 that is 10 days overdue and the other is 8.
We used sexed heifer semen on both of these and they were not exposed to a bull at all.
I'm just wondering if any others went this far past the due date!
Thanks so much!!!

Asked my friend who used him a lot last year and he said for the most part all calving was "normal".  But overall I like what I see so far.  Easy calving, small vigorous calves.  I have several Grandmaster heifers bred to him. My friend has a couple and they are really good.

Good info!  Just another piece of evidence for me that he could be a new great option in simmi calving ease.  How do you like the calf?  What was the cross again?

Heres 1 of the Uno Mas heifer calves we had. Thought I'd put up a pic for anyone thats thinking about using him this year. We are extremely pleased as far as the look they have and also calving ease. We will definitely be using him again this breeding season.
