We used Jimmy the Greek last fall and did just fine on conception.  The calves are just so-so, but no problems with him.

We used Jimmy, got 50% conception rate... Would suggest using him on big cows, as IMO his calves will be small to moderate.. They have lots of bone, hair, top, and ass though...  Can't attach a pic, to big.  PM For for it.

I just had another Jimmy calf today. We bred cows that we normally would use as recips to him. I used him on some tall, lighter muscled cows and I have to say that these are the best calves these cows have ever had. To me, there aren't many bulls that improve the cow and he has done that for me. Also some of these cows are 15-1600 pounds and the BW have been 75-85 lbs. Not abd at all so I am very pleased.

The Geek semen is going to be hard to come by and it is going to be expensive as his first crop had some big tickets.
