Hey Tanko,how do you find On Dit as a cow maker?have a heifer off a purebred simm out of him and I wouldn’t be too impressed,she is very leggy and tall.Do they fill out with age?She is 5 months old

I only have one heifer calved off him a month or so ago. Shes long, tall and a bit leggy but seems to be pretty good for milk. Have five yearling heifers off him and theyre all very long, big framed animals. I’ll try them as cows.
On-dit worked best on smaller or medium sized cows with loads of muscle, i dont think he’d suit Simmental cows that well.
They do fill out a bit with age but theyll always be big framey animals id say.
Other bulls with On-Dit breeding like FZF and ZCH breed the same kind of animals.

Fine cattle, that stock bulls heifer has savage length. How do you find escalop for calving? His heifers should have good room for calving anyway.

I've never had an issue with him calving anyways. That heifer in the 2nd picture is a heifers calf. I rate him highly as a bull, I'd a 15 month old bull out of him last year grade E in the factory. My first E grade ever

Kilbride Farm Escslop SI2099. Bova have him.

That was grand if you were on patrol but whenever I saw them around the camp or by those little ****ty 1man tents I'd have to deal with them. I couldn't relax knowing they were about and might give a lad an would nip.

I think I have one of them tents in the shed. Got knows what's alive in it
