Simmental Blaze of Glory Horned Polled Calving Ease

[yellowdog5]

Does anyone know if the Simmental bull CAJS Blaze of Glory is homozygous polled or carries the horn gene?  Also any reports on calves from heifers, I need a white face calving ease sire.

I'm sure he is homozygous polled and I have had four calves by him.  I think he will work on most heifers as long as the heifer doesn't have birth weight issues.

Thanks for the info.  Did you like the calves?

Three out of the four calves were good.  One bull calf I that I made a steer was champion feeder steer at our state show.  One bull out of a chopper half-blood simmental cow made a good show bull and sold him to my neighbor that I partner with on some things. I kept one heifer that is a half-blood that will calve in October.  The other calf was out of a half-blood simmy first calf heifer that was pretty plain that I culled and sent to the stockyard. The calves weighed 60= 75 pounds at birth and the 75 pounder was out of a heifer no problems. I will use him again, in fact, a bred an Angus heifer to him last week. He is better bull than his sire in my opinion.
