Blue on AAx cows

Anyone using blue bulls on angus x cows? We’ve tried a few AI for spring calvers due in march but had debated doing some of the autumn calvers but unsure what calves will turn out like?

Just wondered if any of our TFF community had any experience with similar cattle?

TIA

I’ve considered a blue on some beef shorthorn cows, colour aside, am I mad inviting calving difficulties as we calve outside or are they not that bad?? Would think you would get slatey grey calf out of Angus cows, might be totally wrong though 😂

I’ve used some twyning ash semen, bull is white just like @Henarar likes them 😉
We have twyning ash influence in both our stock bulls, we went there on a herd visit years ago, some very nice stock.
The white ones tend to be more what we are looking for when it comes to breeding, not just because they are white.
Anyway they nearly all have some black somewhere
