If you search back a bit there is plenty of discussion of parthenaise bulls on here.
They are "the in thing" at the moment.
nice cattle. I bought a pedigree heifer myself recently

I had an aubrac bull before very easy calving and quite like the parthenaise
there from around the same region of france
He grew as big as a ch or lim and was very quite only sold him cause I needed
more dairy replacments
Id say I never used calving jack while I had him.
The pietmontese are a different breed from italy
I think they are lighter boned and harder calving maybe not as big.
