Both under 50% skeletal rank within breed. Looking to add a bit of size

I dont see too many tall bulls around. They are tall in my experience.

Dromanig King LM4302 looks good, not proven for easy calving yet i suppose tho.

Would Bivouac be an option?

Those skeletal % figures are a bit weird tho. Both On-Dit and FZF are 115 skeletal at 62% for breed. Both breed big long cattle and are size improvers.
A Lim bull at 100% skeletal would look like a giraffe imo.

Height is only a part of skeletal figure

I think someone back along here said lm2014 was a good a alternative to ZAG

Looks the part on paper anyhow. Anyone much experience? I think zag is a waste of getting ai man out.

Ivor is very easy calved. You'd want a bit of size in the heifer though. Doves have a few nice bulls. They have a nice bull by highlander too.

Used a good bit of him when he came on scene first. Very hot and cold

20 notes each.
I bought 20 straws for mostly 10euro so I said 5 more at 20 euro ain't going to break me, although I'll bin the 4 escalop straws

I wouldn't be one bit afraid using escalop. I've never had any sort of hard calving of him yet

Pedigree Escalope heifer calved a few days ago. Huge hips and room and loads of milk. I'm definitely going to use him more. I think that his figures are out. He must have been used on to many Heifers or to many apz stock that can't calve.

patsy_mccabe · 28-11-2018 01:50PM

She looks a smasher.

That's a powerful looking heifer. What did she have?

Cheers, I got 12 dickens, 4 haribo, 4 escalop and 5 sunnyboy.
What are the best saler bull for heifers that will make good cows. Or should I ask what saler should I stay away from.

Very nice. That's the first Barclay calf I've seen. Is he a polly or am I mixing him up with another bull?
