what bulls caught your eye and why?

the charolais and limousin bulls look like good bulls but what really caught my eye was Hugo.
Be interesting to see his calves.

Is the website updated? I looked and I thought the list of bulls seem the same as what they had last year

Nice to see the new catalougue out alright. A few nice bulls there. Is the calving difficulty figures have gone up in nearly all case's for Limo's anyway i.e. MBP - Mil. Dartangan 8.3 to 10.4% - but is suppose data reliability figures have gone up to. Disappointed to see Queenshead Altea - gone into the "Specials" catergory - dearer straws now - use him alot on heifiers - nice shapey calves. I do like to the look of some of the new bulls two - Vagabond, Broomfield and Savignon etc - Big bulls, probably suit if your wanted to finish cattle at 18-24 months for heavier carcass weights etc???
Parthenaise - Boldie looks a nice bull but his figures aren't great - €33 for suckler beef value - No figures for SNX??? pitty!!!! -
Simmental - Not a great selection - although I'm happy enough with the 2 that I do use - Seaview Tommy & Derrough Samual -

BB - Like the look of the new bulls and will probably give them a try. Ballyfin Desperardo looks like a young BBQ . He looks a bit light boned but then again picture migh not do him justise- BBQ looks alot better bull in that picture than previous catalogue's. See alot of EZN sons starting to come through now - A bull I haven't use - YET!!!!!!!
