I raise registered Angus. I maintain a registered black Simmental cow as a source of show calves for my kids. I've been impressed by some of the Simmental/Angus X calves growth. I've only eaten one calf that was both Simmental and Angus.

I am wondering if anyone has seen any data on marbling in Simmental and Simgus crosses? And any links to that data.

I'm considering trying a Simmental bull and seeing what happens.

Here is some info

Article from Australia but research from your part of the world. Most simangus bulls have epds for marbling.
Guess could select a simm bull based on marbling?

That sounds like a good idea Jonny. Thanks

Well I traded for another registered Simmental heifer. Now I have three Simmental females with my Angus herd.
