Ayrshire cattle

[coomoo]

Which family ??

Dam done just over 9000 litres, should’ve used an Ayrshire sire but none in tank at the time.

Not a great picture but currently my only Ayrshire stirk, bought her dam in calf off @Cowmangav and really pleased with her. Will be more in the future just finding good ones at public auction.View attachment 797144

There she is in a line up of six direct generations alive at one time ( 1964 )

. 1st on left is her Great-granddam C Clover 3rd - 150,000 lbs and 18 yr old here. Then her granny C Clover 6th aged 14 - went on to 18 yr and 180,000 lbs lifetime. Her Mother C Columbine also 1000,000 lbs and bred the AI sire C Valiant. Celandine herself also 100,000 lbs and had two sons exported to New Zealand in the 1960s.

That looks the type of Ayrshire I want.

What would you recommend in the current lineup of available bulls to breed a cow of that type?

Try Cattle Services for some Changue Fiord !! - makes good deep cows that develop with age very nicely. That's one Coomoo has above - the second white cow.
