Strong heifers i like that Wont be in the show ring Sales ring , milk cheque and small vet bill would be my priorities

Was browsing through my ai company website last night (Progressive Genetics) and seen and seen a bull Denovo 17118 Provo and has probably the highest production EBI figures (Irish index) I've ever seen approximately + 400 litres and plus high % fat and protein Think he is a ABS bull Has anyone...

Milk price cuts announced for August milk will hurt prices another bit

Didn't see much of it i had reading of Tb test in the middle of it First few were autumn calvers between 1700 and 2000 the few i seen the rest were bit less and the usual few that struggled around 1000 and the best were over 2000 Didn't see middle of sale just the start and end

Probably 80%hol 20 fr If they go too extreme i try to beef them up a little with a 50/50 hol/fr bull

I'll check out your suggestions first to see what's available here then narrow down the preference Thanks for putting in the time and effort Much appreciated

Independent but does an area for Progressive genetics Wouldn't be shy in telling them if a bull is crap He wouldn't carry it in his pot any straws i buy he keeps for me so I've no pot to maintain Good man at his job sound bloke

My ai man has a great knowledge and love for breeding cows he will make recommendations to me as well Hasn't sent me wrong yet She is in calf to VH Praser viking genetics

Solid long life cows Easy care as possible Small herd so not that much walking when on grass Autumn block calving is the aim White water contract at the moment

She's got plenty of width Main attraction for me is fertility Very consistent calving through the generations I was thinking of using Ganseys Antartica a Dutch bull Have a few calves by him puts body conditions on has good fertility and decent milk in first few heifers FR6106 on ICBF

All comments welcome both positive and negative ones And I think i screwed up a little posting the photo

Bought this cow Friday She will do a job for me for few years

Dispersal sale on Friday Which sire would you prefer to buy stock after VH Balisto Brook or VH Praser
