Going ordering some straws in next few weeks. Can anyone recommend a few?
Have a pedigree holstein herd (80% manufacturing quota and 20% liquid) but wouldnt mind using a bull with some british friesian in them.

i bought a br fr stock bull last year , isnt it mad how things are turning , i think cows are gone too bony , nothing to fall back on if anything happens them

you should have a look at Fowlerstown Stan FLT from progressive genetics and munster. 234ebi 381kg milk 15kg of fat at 0.01% and 17kg of protein @0.07% to help pay the bills for the manufacturing milk

Yea I know, I have a few cows just finishing first lactation and they are thin.Wouldnt mind having a little less milk if condition score was higher. anyone have any sok or uph heifers?
Have a really good oman son bull this year and i hope he will add some strength as well.

Yea flt was a bull I was looking at, a little better type than the 2 bulls i mentioned. There are a few good bulls from the lynbrook herd as well!

using sok uph and gmz this winter look good on paper. not huge into the breeding,yet ive just done the diy ai course and coming up on 3 weeks at it, so fingers, toes and anything else i can find crossed.

picked the three above for solids, and they looked like they have it in they to last, type feet udders etc.
sok on the holestiens, uph for ave cows, and then gmz on the bf type cows, best i could nake of it anyways.

if you want a bull wish british freisian in him but still high EBI then try GVV. he's a TIH son with an EBI of 202 and +180 kg milk

SOK or his full brother SJI are both 31% freisian

if you want ebi+type then GMZ and LYF

LLK and MZY (and again GVV) if you want to avoid Oman sons
