Basically the stock bull had gone seriously lame on a back foot at turnout so I decided to AI anything bulling as he was just stood in the corner of the field feeling sorry for himself. However he was clearly more than capable on three legs as out of 12 cows AI'd everyone has had a Charolais calf.........including this one! He must have bulled her on the same day as AI and she took both!
