Jimmy The Greek

[Cattle7]

Opinions on using him on a PB Angus Cow?

Should work well his mark is a clean neck and good head

Unless she is real big framed calves would likely be too little.

Chambero is right.  Jimmy will sure down size them and is probably not the best pick for a PB Angus.

Small is the key word. My son got a club calf from Darby Line at Triangle J Ranch in Nebraska last year out of him. Darby used Jimmy the Greek on a few SimmiAngus cows.

The calf was very thick, easy on the move and very sound. The calf was finished at 1,150 lbs. The calf won his class in an extremely competitive county fair, but didn't have enough to compete against the bigger animals. If you are looking for a niche where you don't have to compete against all the 1,300+ superstars, Jimmy works very well. But I'd still look to breed her to larger framed Angus or commercial cows.
