From looking at Torinos Figures ( sorry no pers experience ) he looks great for breeding Replacement Char heifers. Unusual to get an easy calving Charolais with hi Terminal figures & with milk all in one package as with Torino.

Are there any straws of Pistil (pxt) and Enfield Plexus (pxu) left. Had great cattle out of these and was looking to get more if possible. Maybe bogmanbass or the other experts might know. Thanks

Anyone know much about an old ch bull called Harakiri? Uncle has a few left said I could have them as he's not farming anymore. He used to breed pedigree ch. he said that he was a good cow maker. Doesn't rate very well on icbf but allot of the old bulls don't as the info wasn't collected then like now. Also has 3/4 Jupiter straws.

Hara Kiri (HKI) was the bees knees at the time. I think he was the sire of another good AI bull, but can't remember the name.

That's it, HWN. I used him when doing AI on the sucklers. He bred nice stock. I thought it was CF85.

I might hold onto him if he's worth using. Thinking of buying a pedigree ch at the back end or a cow in a dispercil sale.

Do you follow the AI companies on Twitter?

Some of them, but I follow a lot of folk so it all gets lost in my feed. I'd search for a bull name or that if I'm looking for something in particular.

70e my ai man is supposed to have it tomorrow,I think pg have them too.Stick up a pic of that calf when u get a chance,he should breed plenty milk

patsy_mccabe

AGB bull calf. Month old in the pic. The mother is nothing special, to be honest. She lacks size so hoping AGB would add that as his skeletal figures are very high (92%).

Nice calf what's the cows breeding?

She's by Elite Flag. Exceptionally quiet but small. I think that's the grand mother in front of him. She's a fine big cow.

Are you using him on a big cow, as be will bring size. A lot of the cows at the Thomastown pedigree sale were by AGB. All fine animals.

Mac Taylor

I’m not convinced on AGb, I had a few on-dit bulls this year and found it difficult to fill them out, you would want to have a very shapely cow to maximize on on-dit. AGb might be different.

I reckon he's very different to on-dit. He's much more muscley and powerful, but still has the milk.

Hopefully I did buy 4 of his straws but said I would wait to see what the stock turn out like, I have a dancer cow that I might consider putting him on....we’ll see
