    I'm seeing an awful lot of young fr bulls for breeding on donedeal which tbh look fairly average. Is there really that much demand for them considering the quality available from AI bulls?

    Ha no the burdisso is in good working order but I have had a few over the years that I never bothered with was always under the impression bulls had to be halter trained etc to sell. All ai used here btw.

    What do you think of the axn s mahoney_j I have a couple of yearling heifers and they are not that nice to look at IMO

    I have some ztg calves and there are smashers altogether. Sorry for changing the subject.

    First Axn going to be bulled in a few weeks,cracking looking heifers hopefully that rings through next feb.have ztg calves on ground this spring,expecting big things from these as they have a nice mix of milk,solids and fertility..it's a pity a lot of the Oman x Goldwyn have fell away on ebi as I thought their ebi would go up for bulls like Axn but instead have gone down
