Not being smart, but just contact them. They will deliver to your ai man or to your own tank.

yeah just tell them who your AI man is and they'll send it to munster or dovea or wherever and they'll send it to your AI man. Give yourself 2 weeks at least for the straws to get where they are ment to go

they are very obliging and with a lot of contacts and knowledge of almost all breeds. I was looking for straws from 2 virtually extinct simmental bulls that were breeding well for me and they got them. Its no Harm to give Padraic a ring anyhow;)

Hi Bodacious, No had no trouble calving Whitefield leader at all. The Eurogene blonde bull you might be thinking of is Doncombe Aga Khan maybe or Utan - haven't used either yet!!!!!

I was looking at powerful genetics web site - they seem to have a few nice blonde bulls now also !!! might try one or two!!!!!!

Hi Pat,

That Aga Khan is a fine bull alright but the other blonde i was thinking of was actually with Dovea a 2008 bull and his name is Kilmoney Bruce. I can only get eurogene with one fella and munster/progressive with another, that Bolide (part bull with dovea is also one id like to try, meant to be throwing great calves and they pop out even of heifers):)

Im a technician with eurogene and unfortunatly Aga Khan doesnt seem to be doing the business-ive yet to see a very good calf from him.
