£200 be closer to the mark if costing it properly

I don't think you'll be disappointed. That his dams production figures below, not the highest yielding but very good constituents and she's very fertile, gained a other month between her third and fourth calf.
his granddam is even better imo, and is the mother to Inch jigsaw

If you want small, strong friesian cows use peartree Bryster, just don't expect much milk! Or that's what we found anyway.
How much did they yield.Seen bf before crap as hfs and then improved lasted for years

Langley Evolution daughter dropped her 10th this morning, doesn't break any yield records, 4.7 BF 3.6 P average, held 1st time every year, proper no hassle cow.
What sort of yield does she give

That’s the sort of breeding I was relating to in my earlier posts

Between 6200 & 6700 most of adult life
Was your post that made me think of her and then she calved. Agree with you. Likes of quentin made solid cows that have just gone on and on.

That’s the type of cow we need to be breeding personally. Doesn’t look like a 10th calver.

Is it the breed that's changed or the systems? I think Friesians will be used in situations now where they are pushed a lot harder/grazing/ low concentrate systems than they once were which may result in not the big strong hefty block that we were used to seeing?

I would say the opposite. Most friesian semen is sold to holstein herds, so they want milk and fertility.
Shape is irrelevant as anything will put width onto a trans Atlantic

Eastrop consul Harriet milking in her 10th. 9 heifers calves.
Obviously this thread is from 4 years ago but we actually bought Cameron and have him at home here in Northern Ireland, lovely bull
I know this thread is 4 years old, but nice to see mention of Camerons grand dam i think this is
we have him on farm now bought him last year, great bull
