The bull himself is pretty rough. bandy legs. Ok, he has good muscle but I wouldnt bother TBH

he is by domino so they will be butty, lads said he was seriously wide but no scope to him

Bogman Bass,
How would you rate HWN and CF85 compared to him?

bogman_bass

he wouldnt touch either of them. CF85 a baest of a bull huge frame and power. never saw HWN in the flesh

Here is a photo from Bulls being groomed for Tully, I bred The Simmental Bull beside LGL and i always considered him on the small side. So i will let you make up Your own Minds.tully%20apr10champs%204640.jpg

on the Munster height at withers CF85 is huge at like 95!! Limkiln bosco is breeding very well but the bull himself is small.. Height at withers he is 53 in comparison to cf85, pirate is also a shortie!

you should have put him beside CSQ and compared him with a proper charlaois. You wouldnt have had far to travel

Considering he had a BLUP MUS Score of 127 and the highest total Muscle Score in a group of 25 at Tully he wouldnt be disgraced, for the first bull calf that i registered it was a good first effort:P

Well done.

I note you say the first calf you registered as opposed to the first calf you bred. Does this mean you only reg ones that you feel have reached a decent standard?
In my opinion too many pedigree breeders feel some sort of obligation to register any sort of rubbish. Some of the crap we can all see on Done Deal etc do their breed no favour at all!

Bizzum I keep telling you that that lad you refer to is a total joker.

any update on offspring from LGL?

AI man coming at 7am to 2 cows, both white char and leggy with milk, it was between MozarT or LGL and looking at the figures, height especially although LGL is no giant either... but his SBV, muscle score etc all beat MZT hands down
