    Is that typical of Giston or Do you need much muscle on the dams side?

    Lovely animal, are you happy with oni? Have 2 Bulls by him.
    One is a smasher, the other is avg. Both are off ampertaine brigadeer.
    What you think of ABI to breed replacements?
    Would you need lots of milk in dam?

    Was talking to 2 farmers who used fiston, 1 had nice muscly calves the other plain, so I was wondering if cow made a big difference

    Great pedigree with good stars, hear lots mention him well & I'd like to have a daughter in the herd, just wondering what cow type to suit

    I think FSZ is the real deal, has replacement index , milk etc that's her 2nd calf and she threw her out herself but she developed from there ..

    Did she carry long?
    Sometimes short gestation mean smaller calves

    I have 2. One bought in. Breeds very well, but know nothing about her mother. The other is home bred out of an average milker. His stars are brutal but I have ordered more of his straws at a ?10 a pop. I will use him on high star cows.

    Throw up a pic there, picture looks brutal of him (in catalogue) but index looks mighty and have seen a few pedigrees that look alright...

    Saw a pic of a bull of his on Facebook who looked alright, must see if I can find it. He's supposed to bring lots of height and length with Milk so good call on crossing him with something with Blue parentage, could be a cracking animal! Off a Charolais would be ideal too for that golden colour.

    He's a May 2015 born bull and that pic was from April on the day he was being sold. Here's where I found them:

    Anyone on this thread got any experience of Haltcliffe Underwriter? Assessing a stock bull and he's on the maternal side, Castleview Gringo on the paternal side. Looks very good but I'd like any insights. Thanks.
