Holstein Bulls

[FarmerWasty]

Do you like them? Semex rep was pushing him fair. Not a Holstein fan but he does look good.

Absolutely love them. Very pleased indeed. Have some 2nd calvers on ground, looking the part. Will put a few pics up when I get the time.

Supposing iver got nearly 60 almamaters on ground, perhaps throwing captain on them wouldnt be such a disaster

Absolutely, I think that’d be a nice cross.

A2P2 has had a nice Proof run. Anyone on here use him? I backed out of using him 6 months ago but will definitely be giving him a good go around the herd now

 

[FarmerWasty]

As heifers then as cows. Infact I do believe I posted these two on here last year when they calved down. 5593 vg85 as hfr. 5568 81.

Jump or blow away

No they are more like pocket rockets used a lot worse that haven’t produced good cows.

Anyone used/using early bird?

Anyone used/using early bird?

Not yet but I did pick him out of the December proof. Like the look of him

Any thoughts on him?
Looking for something to use on ranger + Robin + ryder red daughters and thought he was nice - especially since he's polled!

Positive sature with negative chest width rules out any bull for me.

Not keen on negative chest width personally, but AOT Highlife P is a another good r/w bull.

 

[Jdunn55]

Yeah he's off list now unfortunately.

Looking for something that ticks the following boxes

- Want good fertility (higher the better but ideally 4+)
- Plenty of chest width (ideally over 1 point)
- Not too much stature (less than 1 point ideally)
- as high kg of fat and protein as possible (ideally 35kg and 25kg minimum)

I would like him to be red if possible or atleast RC
Polled would be an advantage but not a necessity

He needs to be OK genetically for ranger + Robin + ryder red daughters

We've used Sherdon Elevated red. Good heifers, none milking yet

Not sure that bull exists,I like Solito on those bloodlines.

 

[TheRanger]

Gave up trying to find another R&W bull for here, they're all too closely related.

I don't know why people pick any bull that doesn't have that these days.

How about Johnboy? Only RDC, but otherwise quite interesting.

With a name like that they’re obviously optimistic he’s going to be around for a while
