    That's a fine looking bull.
    Parthenaise?
    Do you use him on dairy or sucklers?
    Been thinking about getting one myself for sucklers next year.
    How do you find them re calving etc.

    Yea we're keeping her, she's €67 repl so may go up or down but dam is a great breeder with plenty of milk. Only prob is she's already come in heat and a 10mnth old limo covered her! Hope he's not fertile yet :D

    Nah I'll chance her, last time I injected a heifer with it she went totally backwards. Have it marked on the calendar so will keep a good eye on her at the 19-21 day mark. If she is incalf I'll prob just take her off feed and restrict her, she'd be 19 months at calving which isn't ideal but the bull is bred to be easy calving and is 5 star at least!!!

    Bought a PBR Limousin cow near calving before Christmas for €1500. This is the bull calf she had. Qualifies for the BDGP scheme and genotyped. Exceptionally quiet too.

    Moon :D What a name! Ours this year was Milly, only reg'd the one heifer.
    He's going to have a great topline, nice neat head on him too. Is he AI? Very similar to a calf we have here off EBY.

    Out of a 5 star, terminal and maternal, stock bull. He has Vantastic and Gamin in his breeding. Cow has Ramses, Roundhill Dara, Pelltsown Newman & Epson in hers.

    That could be why he looks like one of ours! The calf here that looks like him is by a RHF cow:) Calf has exact same head to yours.

    Don't know. They got him out anyway. He was gone when I looked again.
