With silly season upon us/imminent, and as a nosey git, what bulls will people be using on sucklers this year?
Tweeddale lookout?various charolais only.
Tweeddale lookout?
Does his pedigree say he's easy calving? Very occasionally we'll use a CH so it's good to know.no I don't think so not this summer, not very often we would use a genus bull. don't like digger, but the damn side of lookout is very good .
be using bulls in the tank this time all private buys n some is rarer than rocky horses to get hold of
I like the Blue bull Hero and I like the Lim bull Lennox. I will be using these this year and for my heifers I will use Duster. I like an easy calving bull.
Digger ( +16) is supposed to be quite an easy calving bull lots have used him on pure heifers. So I would imagine he's fine on cross cows if they will take a Conti bull.Does his pedigree say he's easy calving? Very occasionally we'll use a CH so it's good to know.
Have been told there isn't any Oakchurch Duster available at the moment
Then I'd buy the lot!Duster is on Bull of the day round here.
All Ai here, so yes.Anyone doing AI to produce suckler replacements ?

He is sold out, I heard that too .Hmm, sounds like I'm being told a bit of a porkie then... Good to know, thank you.

Yes I'm 100% AI, Allan (our Genus AI man) is a lot less trouble than a bull and I don't have to feed him for 10 months while he's doing nothing.
Best cows will have a maternal bull with (as much as possible) a positive milk ebv.Do you pick an AI bull specially for replacements or pick likely calves out from the main run ?
