    If you search back a bit there is plenty of discussion of parthenaise bulls on here.
    They are "the in thing" at the moment.
    nice cattle. I bought a pedigree heifer myself recently

    I had an aubrac bull before very easy calving and quite like the parthenaise
    there from around the same region of france
    He grew as big as a ch or lim and was very quite only sold him cause I needed
    more dairy replacments
    Id say I never used calving jack while I had him.
    The pietmontese are a different breed from italy
    I think they are lighter boned and harder calving maybe not as big.
