    Has any one here any ZBF cows or Heifers Calved hoe are they for Milk and Calving ability. I was very impressed with the bull in the flesh I used him once on a Milky high figured cow. Heifer is now ready for Bull. I am weary of his woeful bad Milk figures

    Bad milk for a simmental would be fine by comparison to other breeds. Still 2 stars across breeds.

    His milk figure is 1.2kgs at high reliability, that's shocking for a Sim. He's very hard calved also, you'd want cows well able to calve for him. I wouldn't be putting him on heifers anyway.
    Far better Sims out there than him i think.
    Sim Bulls don't always cross well on black cows, you can end up with mousey brown calves.
