Beef Stock Bulls

[M-J-G]

Ah yes, I see now, quite common in Bazadaise and Baz crosses, I don't notice it so much now.
I'll get back to you on Baz straws for putting on blues, I've asked for advice as I've no experience of blues.
Be £10 - 15 a straw + transfer fees, plenty choice of different bulls

Are any polled Bazadaise bulls?

Probably wouldn't use Baz straws on the blues, maybe put them in something a bit more plain like a HF or Sim

Why use Baz, will they add more shape to your plain cows than a Blue can?

Nice
Have you any more photos of the Giraffe bull ?

here you are @Henarar
22 months, his first calves are due in Oct, has always lived out with the cows, quiet as a lamb

What breed of bull are they ?

The grey one is a Bazadaise, the creamy coloured one is a LimX, both excellent temperaments, both homebred and both in together with in calf cows.

My older stock bull working this summer. Put him on the heifers as he is easier calving

Yes it was certainly a buyer’s market. Poker was a half brother to this one, he made 2900. Preferred this one as he hasn’t got a double muscling gene

He's a Danish Embryo from a planned mating we had carried out a few years back.

New lad bought at Carlisle yesterday
Very quiet and good nature, think he will be feeling better with all the soap washed out of his hair

Nice looking bull
Will be back in the market for a bull again soon. Young stock bull has been a disaster.
Love lims, but this hard calving fetish is an absolute nonsense. What’s the point in having amazing 400 day growth of the calves are too big to pull out of the cow.
I’m absolutely converted to Ebvs now, anything that isn’t better than breed average for calving ease will not be coming onto this farm.
Beginning to despair of the breed now
