Thanks. She really came on the last couple of months. Hope to breed her, maybe at the end of the year. No harm have a bit of size when they are that muscley.

Had a fifty cent heifer born March 2019 weighed her yesterday 558kg big growthy heifer. Her mother has more milk than most friesians. A. I d the heifer to zag last week so fingers crossed she holds. On the other end of the scale I have a heifer 20 months old a granddaughter of zag 100 kgs lighter.

Used 5 straws of 50 cent.3 bulls 2 heifers.The 3 bulls were the poorest weanlings for conformation I've ever had.All off really good musclly lim cows.Never again.

Yep I’d agree with that very disappointed with the quality. What sim bull would you recommend?

Totally agree regarding plain cattle however the plan is have the milk in the herd then add muscle. I've some cattle with good muscle and their calves could be 40 to 50 kg lighter at weaning. If this heifer has a calf with similar adg as she had and better muscle it would make for a quality animal.

What’s he like for calving?

Used Derreen Declan here a bit, decent heifers but very plain bulls, easy calved but wouldn’t use him again.

I think Earp is a very good bull, not the milkiest but good muscle and shape to them, easy calved on cows.

Yea he looks good. Am I going mad? I’ve started to think that apostle isn’t the worst option out there. Swore I didn’t like him but have certainly seen worse.
Any experience of Capone?

Don’t know anything about Capone.
I wouldn’t use that APZ yoke again if i was paid to, his daughters are a disaster for calving.

I’d try Earp if i was you before Apostle.

Have a few Frosty King calves this year, like the look of them so far, fairly big framed long calves with good shape but he’s easy calved on cows.

Curaheen gunshot twins born late Oct, about 400kg each now.

I've had good results from gunshot and cracker from dovea

The poor cow, she must be well sick of them by now. She’s done a great job on them.
What’s Gunshot like for calving?
