    She has a decent bag of milk, she is off a cow that had lots of milk tho. I'll try and get a pic.
    You're a brave man putting a Vantastic son like GWO on heifers, is the heifer ok?

    shes fine must get a pic of them tomorrow GWO is well proven as an average calver. I'll prob go charolais on her next. Iv calved 7 autumn calvers this year thought calves are big in general at the minute

    GWO is hardly what you'd call an easy calver. He's in the bottom 10% of the breed for calving.

    Hes an average calver 6.8% with 98% relability. Thats the kind of range im comfortable with for heifers tbh Iv calved 6heifers in the last six weeks and the bulls i used on them was OZS on a simmental and a blue, APZ on a char and KEZ on a lim and a black whitehead and that one last night, its just unfortunate that out of them six I got five bulls. I had an LZE second calver have a GKA bull calf

    Today in Roscrea. Ammaghmore Jumbo a Haltcliffe Dancer son, 1st prize winner - €14,000.

    So much for Star Ratings. Only one star for Replacement Index.

    How do you find the GKA calves?
    I've about 7 in calf to him. Have one off him on the ground off a very good blue cow and I'm disappointed enough in him so far.

    Patsy, he is 4 star across the breed for terminal so is suitable for new scheme. Dancer is producing some quality animals.

    Still for that money you'd expect him to have good replacement figures too. I've a feeling he went to the UK.

    I take them sale prices with a pinch of salt. You don't know if he was sold previous for 7 and told to bid to 14 and I'll give you the rest back ect. It makes it easy to sell his future brother ect.

    I think the big money for bulls allot of the time is out of the breeders yards.

    I know feck all about Lims but I know the sale last year of the year before all the heifers came back to 4 bulls I think. Has that lad new blood or the usuall? I think the lim gene pool is getting small like the HE, they are getting very small.

    I find him a good bull hes big and would want to be watched round calving time you will be needing a jack at hand, They have massive growth and savage timber under them with great width at the shoulder and good long backs he will increase length, If you were keeping stores he would be a great choice. hes the next best bull to new look iv seen. If you didnt know any better u'd say I was trying to sell him ha..... has anyone here used GPD??

    The guy that bred and sold Trueman Jagger was in Roscrea today. Serious money alright. I would agree with above on the big prices. I'd take a lot of it with a pinch of salt too. Nice bull though.

    Are they related to the Glouchester dairy breed in England?

    They look very similar.

    The calf in the pic or the bulls generally?? Id say you'd need a cow with shape if you wanted his stock for export but he has a nice bit of muscle to him but not in LGL or fiston league

    I bought four off a man a year or two ago on donedeal. I like pirate because its easy to sell the bulls on coz their handy enough calved . He can leave cattle a bit low in the shoulder if i was to find fault in him. There still in peoples pots but they would be getting dearer .
