Have 3 on ground out of a Simmi donor. Small at birth mid 70's, right shape. Calves don't look like much till they get older than "wow" . Downside is the calves could have a bit more bone.

I have our first ET calves on the ground out BC Lookout and our simmy cow. Mid 70's Bw came easy and look good, you will though pick up OCC Legend on the sire side. The other bull I like is Plainview Lutton. Good luck.
