Can’t get them now I don’t think they are better though the last one split here a few years ago

 

[Cows 'n grass]

Does no one use brass nozzles?

Mine will have been in use longer than some of the folk recommending other brands will have been milking cows

Too cold on the hands for those of us who forgot to build walls around the parlour.

4% in there. Is mother’s sire has some. Good outcross though

The annoying thing about Cameron is he is excellent for every trait except for fertility index. He would still be a positive on the Holstein base! Because they put so much emphasis on fertility index in the £pli figure even though it’s a very low heritable trait and more to do with management his £pli figure is only £142

He's dutch/Irish with a bit of NZ ! Interesting outcross.

I've got some strong calves from him I'll get some pics sometime. He's a red carrier and some of the calves seem to be polled!

Have you marketed his semen before or have you paid to have his full genomic linear published?

I’ve paid the £500 to have both bulls genomic figures published. I’m hoping I can make it and the licences and the collection and storage charges back.
