    Fine bull. He has an awful lot going for him. Been meaning to use him, will definitely put him in a few this spring

    I've a few pedigree Heifers incalf to him. You'd need a bit of size in the cows you put him on. He's almost like a handy size BB. Good muscle but small. I got 20 of him in the pot too, I think that he's a smasher used on the right cow.

    Ya, I have him on a very tall Gigolo heifer.

    Did you ever use godolphin? Thinking of putting him on two very long cows.

    No, never used him. Don't think I've seen any stock by him either.
    Do you get many straws from Elite Pedigree Genetics?

    Godolphin is increasing in popularity. Easy calved and bringing muscle. Check out the link below on Facebook. They’ve a serious heifer from him

    Ya got a few. Notting major. A few F1 and plumbtree fantastic. Really like the look of godolphin but you'd want a lot of milk behind the cow because if you get a Heifer he's definitely not going to add milk.

    Ya nothing special about the mother. 1st calver tho she might be looking plain for that reason. He’s 3 bulls for Carlisle, 1 by godolphin, there’s a few pictures of them on that page. Godolphin looks an Exciting bull considering heifers are calving such class from him

    Ya he's a good bull, think I'll try a few. I see jagerbomb cd is creeping up a bit. He's probably fine but he started off at 2%. I don't think any bull should start that low as hell get put on scrap.

    I have one nearly the exact same. 8/9 years old now. If you were to look at her you'd say she's the worse cow there. I think that she's my best. Loads of milk, quite as a lamb and a mad fertile. She's come bulling 30/40 day's after calving and held serval times. Solid love the girl, lol.

    It's up on their website too;
    https://www.progressivegenetics.ie/downloads

    Nice pic on the front. Looks like Ballyvaughan.

    Huge fan of Ardlea Dan here. My own bull is by him. Always seems to breed correct type cattle. No milk though.

    Same as that. My own breeding out of a abi dam. 3 * maternal and 5* terminal. Letting up a few heifers out of him that are from very milky dams.

    One of the best terminal Lims ever IMO. Brought great width. But like you said couldn’t color your tea with milk

    Funny, but his figures don't agree with that. Only 41 precentile for Carcass weight and 57 percentile for carcass conformation. On width he only scores 44 perc. So only an average bull according to ICBF.

    My vet reckons calves off ADX can have big shoulders which have led to some difficult calvings for him.
