you could try FL25 or ROX bring good muscle. You could also try LGL in charolias he bring muscle. ADX would also be good

lgl is about 12% but i heard they pop out
fl25 is 7%
adx is 5% (i have a second calver with her time to him ill let ya no how you she gets on)
ROX is 9% had them over the years never much trouble calving them

Ye, all lovely bulls,love to use LGL but if he is 12% he has to be hard calving......the oul lad never wants a section...it causes him problems coz he cant handle it when a cow is sectioned..idk..

Wait and see how she breeds with FL22, you should have an idea when the calf is a month or 6 weeks old.
I'd make my mind up then.

She calved this morning to FL22...very happy,she slipped the calf out..the calf itself could be better but it will fill out probably....hardy bit of a calf! it got up nearly straight away!! (black heifer calf)
good quality
i need to decide between LGL/ADX?

Great Stuff !
FL22 is the job alright for first time calvers. A lot of people on here have used him with no problems.

As for the next bull, you have plenty of time. the new proofs for April 2012 should be out soon, so you will have a better idea about calving for all those new NCBC bulls.;)

lol ye i am happy that she salved easily,she is a great heifer and i want to keep her....is there an exact time when the proofs come out?

BelgianBlue13

Senn all the proofs today, very suprised at NHL! didnt think ADX would hit 8% either.....
Well lads any advice will help....just to sum it up....im looking for a good char/limi bull in PG....not hard calving...
I was thinking about using MVO...seen the best calf i ever seen at my friends house, the calf was out of MVO..he is a bit hard calving though...
i wonder would she have a nice calf with ROX..i would be willing to use him..
FL25 dunno if she would calve him...
my aim is a good beef carcass
thank you
