    I'm no expert on pedigree breeding but Haltcliffe Dancer, Cerberus, Ampertaine Commander and Fieldson Alfy would be a few that would come to mind.

    I own a Mars du clo cow.An I have given her the bull Nexun NXE over the last few years very pleased with the calves

    i would say have a good look at the cow and try and correct her faults with a bull to do this before going down the road of embyro as this can be very costly. no point flushing a cow to produce average calves, or get somebody to look at the cow to tell you his idea to serve the cow with,

    Ya, I'd be careful OP. The country is full of pedigree limousine cattle.

    you might find it hard to sell a bull by TVR with those calving figures. I wouldn't fancy calving a recipient heifer to him!
