Can someone with more knowledge that me tell me why goodwhone has good fat and protein % but is low on kg? Surly the kg would be higher as well?

Surely the Holstein breed is bred for milk anyway isn't it?

I like them as they should produce moderate sized cows I've used both.
We've some mixer reserved but holding off until August proof run before we buy anything, eubank would suit us but we need to improve udders since increasing yields

Too much. £32 I think. Mixer was couple quid more. I’ve only used half a dozen so far as I have quite a few straws I’m using up from last year but so for looks promising as far as holding goes.

Braxton is up there as passing on some of the worst fertility and health trait genes the Holstein breed has ever had to offer.

For one lactation.
Really though, his milk proof is ok but there are way better bulls for milk and without the downsides.
Bulls like baxton are terrible for the breed. Lucky he never really bred on and we can eradicate his genetics from the population.
