Belgium Blues

I'm thinking of buying a Belgium/British Blue bull to cross with 3/4 and 7/8 Limousin cows as I feel my cows are becoming too purebred. I'm not sure if this will give me nightmare calvings and I'm not a great fan of zips on the sides of cows!! i would buy in some BB bullocks to finish and...
